I bet you're looking forward to this next crop. Fava beans are fun to grow, but they need to stay really cool. Here, it rarely gets over 65 degrees on a winter day, so it suits them just find for growing in the winter. Does it stay that cool where you are? The best resource I know for container vegetable gardening is a book called The Bountiful Container--I really think you'd like it. It's been helpful for me.<BR/><BR/>Shannon: Wow! I'm so flattered. I don't think I ever got the email you mentioned, but I'll send you an email to learn more about this program.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12607821498331135305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-81263811582633457842008-01-21T15:35:00.000-08:002008-01-21T15:35:00.000-08:00Hello Christina,In the last few months, you may re...Hello Christina,<BR/><BR/>In the last few months, you may remember receiving an email invitation to become a part of the Foodbuzz Featured Publisher Program. With all the recipe-writing and food photography to be completed, we know emails can easily get lost in the shuffle, so Foodbuzz would like to re-extend our offer of inviting you to be a part of our food blogger network. I would love to send you more details about the program, so if you are interested, please email me at Shannon@foodbuzz.com. <BR/><BR/>Cheers!<BR/><BR/>Shannon Eliot<BR/>Editorial Assistant, Foodbuzz.com<BR/>shannon@foodbuzz.comShannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07482302035698916664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-11050848509198795762008-01-21T15:16:00.000-08:002008-01-21T15:16:00.000-08:00I am sitting here glued to your photos of your bea...I am sitting here glued to your photos of your beans! I am thrilled for your garden success! I am on my second round of pole beans as my first set, well, I had to go out of town for 2 weeks and the person watering my garden was not into looking for pests. Long story short, the worms got to enjoy most of my beans. Never fear, second set is up and coming and I am keeping a watchful eye on those babies! If I am successful with these, I might just have to try the fava. I am on a mission right now to learn more about container gardening. If you know of a good resource, let me know. I have been visiting university extension websites the past few days and am starting to get some good info.<BR/>Thanks for sharing Christina!winedebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891313852429967357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-40061840447374413892008-01-18T23:38:00.000-08:002008-01-18T23:38:00.000-08:00Well, ahem, my poor garden...sadly, I returned to ...Well, ahem, my poor garden...sadly, I returned to not much. Shame really, but it was insanely hot for a few days and I think that was what did most of it in. Still, things like rocket, basil and tomatoes, as well as the purslane that snakes across the pavers have all thrived. I learn a little more each year.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524429760235996360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-59282967756941069312008-01-18T13:34:00.000-08:002008-01-18T13:34:00.000-08:00Much like the other commenters here, I'm suffering...Much like the other commenters here, I'm suffering from garden envy right now. That said, even if it were July right now and even if I were an experienced gardener (like yourself) I wonder if I'd ever be as solution focused as you.

How does your garden grow lately?<BR/><BR/>Terry B: Oh, you're welcome. I love to think about, plan for, and write about veggie gardening, so I'll happily post about it any time. <BR/><BR/>Susan: We'll see where my future takes me, but for now, I'm quite happy here.

I did know that you can eat those pea shoots - I think it was you who pointed it out. This must be a wonderfully fresh, flavourful meal. A true gardener's delight.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524429760235996360noreply@blogger.com
