Garden update | First things first http://first-things-first.net/2007/07/09/garden-update/ but not necessarily in that order Wed, 07 Jan 2009 05:01:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 Garden update | First things first http://first-things-first.net/2007/07/09/garden-update/#comment-467 MAC Tue, 10 Jul 2007 18:56:28 +0000 http://first-things-first.net/2007/07/09/garden-update/#comment-467 Pumpkins are worse than zucchini. We tried one last year, ignorant of how quickly and aggressively they grow. We harvested two before destroying the vines. (They'd threatened to choke my heirloom tomatoes, so it was self-defense.) This year, there's one growing three feet on the other side of the fence. It started from the seed of a pumpkin the neighbors threw in their brush pile last fall. Naturally, it made it through the chain link fence into the space which our garden occupied last year. (Our friend who has a tiller never made it over here this spring, so we don't have a garden this year.) Since we've got space this year, we're going to let this renegade vine do its thing in our rough, overgrown garden space. Will have to blog about it I supppose. Congrats on the beautiful garden. Bet B3 is having lots of fun watching everything grow. Pumpkins are worse than zucchini. We tried one last year, ignorant of how quickly and aggressively they grow.

I have to admit it is mighty fun because I love to be a tourist in my own city! We will be heading on a day trip sometime soon and we'll take you virtual along because we are going to a favorite museum of mine. Also to give you a very vague hint, we have beaches -- real ones! Your garden pictures looks gorgeous and very tasty. If my pollen allergies weren't so bad I'd plant a huge veggie and herb garden. Yum, fresh zucchini, tomatoes, snow peas, snap peas, lettuce and more I'd be in heaven :-D I'm not a veggie, but I eat like one a lot. Take care from your tour guide in an undisclosed location Hi Marsha,
