my parents took these (Naples, FL). Some really cute ideas for kids gardens...and don't the waterlillies remind you of nasturtiums?!

I'm just sitting here wondering if I might just be able to slip these past the middle granddaughter. Very nice
amaranth3 replied 9 months ago
these can definitely pass under radar as actual chicken nuggets! You could omit the thyme and maybe even cook them in the pan after dredging in a little flour and then I think they would ABSOLUTELY go unde... more »

fyi found out that if you cut nasturtiums and put them in water (like for a flower bouquet) they will send off roots and start blooming new flowers!

Love this kind of little tidbit!
amaranth3 replied 9 months ago
yes I love plants that will grow from cuttings!! My lime basil also did this (I had a bunch of it in a cup with water on the window sill and weeks later looked in and tons of roots were there)! Also I have... more »

the upper ground sweet potato plant is doing great despite the extreme drought (even with my lack of watering). Also about a month ago deer ate every single leaf off of the upper ground sweet potato plant ... more »

Apparently deer really like sweet potato leaves & okra.  They hit mine ... luckily my sweet potatoes were ready to be harvested.  I was going to try RoriTx's sweet potato leaves recipe - the deer beat me to it.

this plant is actually sweet potato squash. not actual sweet potato. But I didn't know you could eat sweet potato leaves that is cool--I really would like to try potatos next year!

i highly recommend this "Court Jester" marigold variety (Baker Creek seed). They are a very unique marigold. They are typically striped (jester-ish) but many variations appear (as shown in these pics).

Pink things!: only 1 cockscomb plant surviving in a little pot on the front porch. the other little seedlings died from neglect (sorry!) plus I was reluctant to transplant because I didn't want deer to eat... more »

Love the color-themed photo set!  I did a similar series of harvested garden goodies on my blog last summer and had a lot of fun with it.  Great photos, as usual! :)

I miss updating everyday! Been busy...and we are still in the midst of a bad drought and I have been barely watering. I've sort of thrown in the towel until it cools off a little more and starts (hopefully!) raining! Plus I have a deer fence in my garden plans (I may actually put it up for the fall and then again in the spring)... ...see more
