WOW! Planting already in the south. we are about 2 months away from planting.
When I used to run Texas- Toronto I was always fascinated at harvest time it started early in the south and moved northward. When the harvest happened in Ontario I knew the summer was over!

No community garden plot, But it looks like I am not out of the game yet. I may do the balcony garden thing. Sure it will be at a larger start up cost than a regular garden and not nearly as cool as a regular garden but it will be mine.

You didn't pass the background check or what?

if i get up the gumption this weekend, i'll start some cleaning up...."supposed" to be up to 60 on saturday.

 

[tommyh]

we`re looking at 77
break out the shorts

 

[GAnthony]

i have small garden too

that's all i have a 15' x 15'

this year (like last) i will only have ONE tomato plant, one basil, and one parsley, and the rest will be all flowers. with the weather we have in the spring and then during the summer, my harvest sucks..so screw it, flowers last longer and can take nearly any type or weather.

Next year, try one called "Noon Day" onions. They come from "Noon Day" Tx. Sweetest onion I've ever tasted. Eat them right from the garden.

Whatever came of the 1014 from A and M?

I said I was not going to do this again.....why oh why do they place temptation at the front door of grocery stores...lol. I find a pathic looking tomato plant and a bell pepper plant and two strawberry plants....in bad need of some tender loving care.....end up dragging them home with me. I should kick myself for being a soft sap.
