Haven't you seen that Food Revolution reality show where they showed a group of midwestern elementary school kids a bunch of vegetables and the poor kids couldn't even identify a carrot, let alone an eggplant? Try purchasing just a couple of plants from a reputable local source to start out instead of ordering exotic seedlings. It will be easier that way and not as long for James to wait before his efforts bear fruition. Just make sure Brendan isn't spraying any pesticides on other plants near James' veggies.Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-54266305261336426992010-03-31T15:45:21.656-04:002010-03-31T15:45:21.656-04:00Alas, you have changed my mind about starting a ve...Alas, you have changed my mind about starting a vegetable garden. James and I spent some time pouring over the latest mail order catalogue that came our way (could it have been Wayside Gardens) deciding which vegetables he would like to eat... Me completely forgetting how much effort is involved until now. I think I'll stick with what I've got- a flower bed with a pathetic showing of tulip shoots and a rather fat squirrel with a belly full of 300+ bulbs.Janice Whelannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-80456719086449537412010-03-31T15:30:04.899-04:002010-03-31T15:30:04.899-04:00Aw, shucks, Scoozan -- aren't you sweet.

I don't garden, and could care less what blooms in my yard as long as it covers the dirt and I don't have to mow it. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your gardening.

My garden master plan will take years, and today the work consists mainly of getting rid of what shouldn't be there, including about 100 tons of trees (so that I can plant a thousand new ones) and moving lots of earth. There's a track hoe and bulldozer sitting out there now. Don't get me started... happy blogging.<br /><br />JamesJames XVIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11945185011203589875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-86476214281792908932010-03-30T19:47:02.631-04:002010-03-30T19:47:02.631-04:00Tammi, you and I garden like Martha Stewart garden...Tammi, you and I garden like Martha Stewart gardens: we pick the plants, we decide where we want them to go, and then we hand a shovel to an underling so he can do the dirty work while we take all the credit.

One year we decided to go crazy and ordered a bunch of flowers. The thing was, we actually planted one of the flowers upside down because we couldn't tell root from top! (I never claimed to know flowers) Wondered why it didn't flower that year. So I told hubby I think we have it upside down and so he replanted and guess what? I was right and now we have the most beautiful bleeding hearts!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
