Well mostly my mom's garden because my time here so far has been busy and sucky and stressful and I've hardly been over there. Ugh. But yeah, our only failures were that quinoa didn't do anything past sprouting, rabbits ate all of the peas and all but two of the green bean plants, and we had to battle chipmunks who kept digging up and eating pumpkin and sunflower seeds. But we have upwards of thirty tomato plants. Not kidding. Mom said to plant a lot in each pot because only a few ever come up and they pretty much ALL did. Yay organic seeds. So wanna come can some tomatoes? Lol. Looks like we'll have some in about 3 weeks. I planted everything from seed in June (which is a no... but it worked) and we had great radishes, spring mix, baby carrots, spinach, broccoli is coming along, squash and cucumbers are awesome, beets are almost ready, leeks, eggplant and pumpkins coming along, and chamomile, basil, dill, cilantro, lemon balm and wheatgrass doing fine. We didn't have bug issues really, just rabbits. The spring mix worked great, I'm going to try to grow it in flower boxes on the porch over winter. <br><br>Man... again, I'm sorry it was a battle out there. Want me to mail you some dirt? Haha. If you have any canning recipes (salsa, spaghetti sauce or whatever) you really wanted to try, feel free to share, because I'm going to be canning an ASS TON of tomatoes ;) And freezing a lot of stuff too.Delilahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226052742136654324.post-33545803300199103922009-08-17T22:53:25.527-07:002009-08-17T22:53:25.527-07:00Okay, Now I feel silly. :) I still love it just th...Okay, Now I feel silly. :) I still love it just the same.

Thank you! Thank you! I needed that tonight. I'm definately going to have to come hang in your garden soon! Hoping all 3 of us have additions to our families soon. <br><br>Yes, I think Kingston would like more strawberries next year.
