I redesigned my vegetable garden last year at Franklin Park Community Garden with the Vegetable Garden Planner on Mother Earth News. I am implementing the full plan this season and it will be a lot easier to tend and maintain with this new plan. I grow lots of organic heirloom vegetables and edible flowers in my garden and it produces most of the vegetables and some of the fruit I eat for the entire year.

You better knock on wood... every time I say summer is here, the wind comes up and cools everything down. Plus it makes it really hard to plant carrots! :( |

We are still gathering and storing in the freezer. I am glad you are getting yours, instead of the birds. |

Your berries are looking mighty good! Mine have slowed down a bit in this heat, but I think it's mainly a water thing - I let the hose run on them for a while early this morning - I hope that helps! |

That is a very exciting thought! Hey, I talked to my dad and the grill he was talking about is the same one you got. Just such a small world... so funny he mentioned it to me, the night before you told us you got one.... :) :) |

They look just like Mrs. Santa Claus... or I guess maybe hot lips looks right, too. :) |

The Zucchini coming is always such a happy time for me, as it usually leads the way for so many other plants/harvests... :) |

Did you pull them and hang them, or just let them dry on their own? Is either way okay? |

I love lettuce trees..... I never realized they could grow so tall. John mowed my tree... :( He did not know I wanted to keep it. |

Nice, I'm really going to try and expand my onion varieties. I've been stuck too long on just growing what the feed store offered. |

This does sound like a good addition to our onion collection. I really just picked onions blindly from the baker creek catalog... I have yet to see if we are pleased. |
