Collins Country

A list of things I’ve managed to grow:

{ 09:03 , Monday, July 9, 2007 } { Posted in Garden Tales } { 3 comments } { Link }
From seed:
 
{     Snap Peas
{     Lettuce
{     Three varieties of Green Beans
{     Sunflowers
{     Sage
{     Bell Peppers
{     Parsley
{     Dill
{     Chamomile
{     Broccoli
{     Potatoes
{     Rosemary
{     Chives
 
From Nursery Starts:
 
{     Tomatoes
{     Zucchini
{     Loufa (sp) (It’s a gourd, I think, that is actually used as a body scrubber when dried)
{     Basil
{     Marjoram
{     Strawberries
{     Pumpkins (Munchkins)
 
Most of these are in small quantity, many of them in wine barrels and other containers. Still, I feel very successful that I have managed to grow them at all and have something to show for my efforts.
 
Last year my corn got eaten by yukky bugs, my pumpkins were mildewed by over-watering and my green beans were planted so late that they never got more than three inches high (I had the cutest little green bean…about the size of a pencil lead).
 
This year, I have high hopes of transplanting many of my herbs and letting them really grow crazy in the yard! All in all, I have enjoyed my gardening very much this year. Perhaps I will get the hang of it yet.

I thought your garden looked great!
You managed to get a lot more from seed than I did.
I grew: peas, cilantro, lettuce, pumpkin, beans, and one cucumber (which I don't think will do much).
I bought or was given starts for chives, peppers (not doing well), one cherry tomato, zucchini and squash.
I can't wait to see your (halloween) pansies!

LOL, hi Patti, thanks for stopping by my blog, I came over to see if you had any knitted projects posted and got caught in your garden talk and pictures, oh boy.

I'll have to plop on a Christmas DVD so I can get the feel of winter and get to knitting.

Enjoying your blogs and got more to read , I'll find those socks somewhere I bet !!!!!!

Have a good one and be seeing ya tc linda
