Wow. From seed! I did most of my stuff from seed this time. Definitely a learning experience! How cool is that to have a good friend salvage the out of date seeds for you and your neighbors!

I looked at your link. That’s a pretty wonderful idea! Still pondering about trying for a round two this year! After I murdered my poor little tomato plant, Darlin’ said, (probably because I’d been complaining about the heat and my ineptness at knowing what to do to keep my plants happy,) “well, that’s one way to bring your season to a close! Just execute them!

LOL!

Well, the sunflowers and okra are still doing well, and I was amazed to see the fava beans start blooming again!!!! I thought they had about died back, but there was still some green, and yesterday, there they were, just blooming away!

So even though I vent frustration from time to time here, I really am not giving up!

I potted my second romaine experiment this morning, along with the celery stump in another pot. The celery had developed some capacious roots, and I’m wondering if anything will happen. The first romaine experiment is great! It has really taken off, and I’m delighted! It is actually quite a beautiful plant! I’m hoping to bring it in at the end of the season and see if I can keep it going.

That's fantastic! I actually developed my techniques by failing many times. If you have access to YouTube, you can find many teaching video's that are excellent.

That's interesting. I never thought of trying to grow celery form the stump! Keep us informed on the results.
