I'm going to nibble on those carrots and some of the bok choy in today's lunch stir fry. Thanks again for all the goodies.<BR/><BR/>Re: the Garden post. Actually, it's scheduled for tomorrow, so you won't be waiting much longer. We've been REALLY busy and have increased our growing size by 1200% compared to that first tiny bed in Oct.

The strawberries are doing good(love that rain yesterday), The pepper plants are coming up in the greenhouse. One of the fig trees is putting on baby figs, The green beans, corn(3 varieties-yellow, red and mini), cucumbers(1st round), butternut squash,yellow squash, zucchini, canteloupe and watermelon are sprouting in the garden. I put new asparagus in this year and it is beginning to come up.<BR/>Yesterday I planted some heatwave lettuce, more cukes, some beneficial flowers(nasturiums, marigolds, pyrethrum) in my main bed and some fun stuff in my flower bed--butterfly bush, morning glories, poppies, and luffa. Some of the seed was old, so I'm not sure if I'll get germination, but I'm trying.<BR/>My spaghetti squash did not come up in my main bed, so I am going to try again. <BR/>Also, I have several blueberries in pots, one of which is putting on babies.<BR/>If I tend it all reasonably well, I should have a bounty fit for a king. Time is a huge issue, but loving a garden is such a timeless adventure...wouldn't you agree?ttammylynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04951289120280057547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862121314003712764.post-40006776995912524792009-04-13T03:33:00.000-05:002009-04-13T03:33:00.000-05:00I managed to purge my excess cabbage, spinach, gar...I managed to purge my excess cabbage, spinach, garlic chives and bok choi from Vicki...those carrots were from my own garden;thanks Heather.<BR/>I bought coffee, broccoli, banana bread, cookies, tomatoes, purple peppers, banana nut muffins(organic), strawberry rhubarb jelly, eggs, and mixed sprouts.<BR/>I still have onions, herbs including rosemary, oregano, cilantro, garlic chives, mint and garlic growing. I have rainbow carrots, a few stray strawberries, and many gorgeous flowers. My tomatoes are starting to speckle my many plants, so it won't be long on that, either.ttammylynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04951289120280057547noreply@blogger.com
