The Tromboncino squash I brought here and set the pot against a leg of a metal archway, is climbing and has two blooms on it as of this morning.

I'm going to my house this coming week and bringing back more “stuff”. After that, I think we're off to Ohio and New York state (visiting his family members) - maybe. (Oh, my, he's a Yankee from birth!) When I get back, I'll deal with starting some seeds for fall. I do want to try growing a Cherry Punch tomato plant designed to be able to be grown inside and has 30% more Vitamin C than other tomato plants. I'll also start a few other tomato plants for containers outside.

I'm wondering what I can do to start seeds early for next spring since the three car garage can be heated in the winter. The entire yard has inset sprinklers to water all plants. There are many containers here as well as many plants in the ground BUT NO EDIBLE FOOD COMES FROM ANY OF THESE PLANTS.

ABOUT THE GARDEN THREAD:
A Freeper friend sent me a message and he doesn't post anymore due to circumstances, but he said he reads the garden thread and the information has helped him with his garden. We don't know who reads this thread unless he/she posts but believe me people are reading and enjoying the thread and learning from it just as he does.

It goes like this: We don't know how many people know JRandomFreeper (Johnny) loses his pants on New Year's Eve and they are found on the top of a house near him the next morning. We also don't know how many people know Johnny ran across the street (nude) to put out a neighbor's house fire and the firemen were grateful. I don't think they were grateful about the nude part. Now, Johnny's gardening advice helps people so we'll just accept Johnny the way he is - a simply grand "unusual" wizard. :o)

These 97 degree days in full sun have taken it's toll on my Tromboncinos. Glad yours has survived. Does it get partial shade?

A three car garage, heated in winter..Oooh, you can make a grow room..er, Bob can make a grow room for you.

Well, I will overlook that fact since he seems to make you happy. Have fun on your trip.

Good to hear from you. Thanks for letting me know about your friend who reads the thread. Glad it has helped him.

A three car garage should have a little space available for a couple of tables and grow lights. Heck, if push comes to shove you might grow a whole garden in the garage. LOL
