I got them in on time last spring, but the whether was funky, so the squash plants aren't producing "fruit" yet.Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647906900944224234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-42089205353127122842008-08-12T11:36:00.000-04:002008-08-12T11:36:00.000-04:00Heh, I feel your pain...luckily my flowers have ke...Heh, I feel your pain...luckily my flowers have kept up with the weeds I didn't pull so far. I like the grass in your picture, kinda "ornamental" (though certainly not edible.) Ah well, at least you're getting benefit from the cooler seasons when working outside is more comfortable anyhow.lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133943147518051559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-77936146409610258222008-08-09T14:54:00.000-04:002008-08-09T14:54:00.000-04:00Glad you are feeling so positive!

Go for it!<BR/> <BR/>Here in Wales we have had such a wet summer that rice might be the preferred crop!<BR/><BR/>However, my mange-tout peas have been wonderful. The outdoor tomatoes have loads of fruit (but green as yet, and little enough time left to ripen, especially if the weather continues to pretend it is November) but the courgette is climbing well to escape the wetness below.<BR/><BR/>My 3 compost heaps, though, are great!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-44770971678600620012008-08-09T09:03:00.000-04:002008-08-09T09:03:00.000-04:00Colleen,You've got enough on your plate that I wou...Colleen,<BR/>You've got enough on your plate that I wouldn't worry about it.

I planted it for the first time this year and besides being colorful like you said, it's also delicious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-19497464692381625962008-08-08T17:20:00.000-04:002008-08-08T17:20:00.000-04:00Try planting Swiss chard for the amazing colors! ...Try planting Swiss chard for the amazing colors! Also, 'Petit Dejeuner' radishes from Renee's Garden, as they grow quickly and are delicious.<BR/><BR/>And don't worry about your garde failing: A month after I planted my Grandpa Ott and Heavenly Blue morning glories, I figured out they weren't growing because I hadn't fertilized them. Doh!<BR/><BR/>Oh well, now they are climbing above the top of the trellis!Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03604120044178269166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-39179285990361910792008-08-07T09:20:00.000-04:002008-08-07T09:20:00.000-04:00Eh, my summer garden sucks, too.

I got everything in way too late, and it's been pretty badly neglected since I've been focusing on re-doing the front garden this year. <BR/><BR/>Fall will be better :-)Colleen Vanderlindenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08396040906688814232noreply@blogger.com
