Morning all. I am very grateful for this thread, my friends here and FR in general. Having a garden this year and reading all your posts has really helped me this season. In May after my hubby passed I thought I would never garden again. Well that changed and while it was about half of what it usually is, I had a garden. And the only thing growing now are some new garlic shoots for next year. Always a green promise for next year. Love you guys, MWH
Good morning, Mom! I love the advice and friendship this thread provides, too.
I have learned that even a small garden helps me so much. I mostly have flowers around my house, as vegetable gardens are prohibited where I live (HOA rules). However, I have been tucking in a few vegetables here and there when passersby might not notice what I’m growing. For some reason my herb garden in pots in an old metal garden cart isn’t objectionable, maybe because it’s part yard art and a very pretty piece.
That one success with herbs led me to try some other vegetables in pots. You all know now that I had great success with shishito peppers this year. What a fun addition! I have just a few of the baby potatoes I had in grow bags. While my cherry tomatoes were mostly a dud, this year was an exception to what two tomato plants usually produce. I guess that’s what happens with gardening. Trial and error.
Have a blessed and beautiful day.
