I had a crop failure for garlic this year. I'm so sad about that.AJKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13805794458934272031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-11303767996486201852011-04-14T10:08:55.899-07:002011-04-14T10:08:55.899-07:00Wholelarderlove: I look forward to hearing about y...Wholelarderlove: I look forward to hearing about your redesign plans, and all that excitement about sharing property with your friends is getting my heart racing!<br /><br />AH: Ooooh, I hope you have a fantastic harvest. <br /><br />Angela: Naw, not really bitter, just real.<br /><br />Rosalyn: Your garden sounds lovely.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12607821498331135305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-22002803681520730872011-04-13T18:02:11.738-07:002011-04-13T18:02:11.738-07:00What great photos, and I can almost taste those ve...What great photos, and I can almost taste those veges.

It seemed to work a treat. Don't ask me why, but it did. <br /><br />Online gardening is messing with my seasons. Just as your starting I'm pulling out the final vestiges of my warm season crops. <br /><br />I have a great deal planned for the garden in winter. A re-design is imminent. And when the temperature goes all pear-shaped and my hands freeze I shall look to your blog and fill my needs with a bit of veggie garden porn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-33348661013638559492011-04-05T22:02:42.814-07:002011-04-05T22:02:42.814-07:00Daphne: Don't we always want what is just arou...Daphne: Don't we always want what is just around the corner so badly?<br /><br />Michelle: I wish you were closer. I have 11 Cheiro Recife plants, much more than I'll need. I wish I could just teletransport one to you. I'm short, however, on some of the more every-day peppers. I guess I'll just make Cheiro Recife and every-day pepper. I can't wait to try it. I'm so sorry to hear about your rust--I tried to post on your site yesterday, but for some reason the site wouldn't let me. That garlic rust must be driving you up the walls.

But you're right, in spite of the depredations of various garden pests there are still quite a few things that are thriving. It seems like every time I walk through the garden something has burst into a frenzy of growth, it's such a pleasure to see. But now you've got me longing for all those wonderful summer vegetables and my plants aren't even in the ground yet. I see that we are both trying Cheiro Recife peppers this year, only your plant is much further along than my little runty plant.michellehttp://fromseedtotable.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-17988663054088935912011-04-05T06:23:52.162-07:002011-04-05T06:23:52.162-07:00As you anticipate the tomatoes, I'm anticipati...As you anticipate the tomatoes, I'm anticipating the peas that I planted over the weekend.
