Hi Meee,

I love flowers, yours sound so nice, those are zinnias in my pics.  We've been having a dry spell, no rain for about 3 weeks now.  Maybe next week we'll get some.  I hope I can help you get a picture up so I can see those climbing roses and your smoke tree. 

I go through http://imageshack.us/ or http://photobucket.com/register/?link=topmenu to get the URL code to post these pics. Here is the code for my first pic,

I remove the last bracket so you could see the code and not the pic.  Just copy and paste the code where you want it the appear in your message and the pic will come up when you post it.
 
Make sure the size is right, 320 x 240 works for me.

Hi Roy,
Yea I thinking you will have a bumper crop from the pics I saw of your garden before.  I am getting string beans and the some of the corn is almost ready to pick.  The red bowl in the pic is blueberries, I have three bushes producing lots right now.  The squash in the pic was from my niece's garden, I have a few plants myself that aren't producing yet.  I have about 5 baby watermelons and a honey dew melon.  I also planted cantelope, but can't find one yet, but expect some because the vines are growing like crazy.

Hi Angie,
You have a good variety of veggies there and yea I know I've got a head start living in the deep south.  But it is really getting hot here already too.  My herbs are doing really well, I love using them.  I find it very rewarding to use what I've grown.  I want to start baking bread, but haven't jumped into that yet.

Great to hear from my fellow gardeners  :D

mercy, peace and love

I was not able to plant a garden this year cause we had to move. I have enough space, tons of space but not enough time. I bought shares in a local organic garden. It is called a CSA and it makes a lot of sense for those who cant garden. For a fee you get veggies. We get a dozen eggs (farm fresh free range) and a box of veggies for twenty weeks. We share the risks and the bounty with the farmer. I will have my garden back in overtime next year.

Nice garden Kat ;D

judith collier:
Gardens! Yeah, me too. What beautiful pictures of God's bounty. And firefly, gonna hop right over and get some of that bread, gosh do I love sourdough. My husband's and brother-in-law's garden is finally in bloom. We have not had good weather here in Indiana, cold or rainy but wow, today we were in the 80's. My flowers are finally looking like they will live. I never grew anything till 6 years ago and somehow I seem to have a talent for it. Still amazes me! My husband says,"what the heck are you doing so long with those plants" Well, in the house I dust the leaves with my hands and sort of pet them, I treat them like a baby, always fussing over them, bringing them in and out of the cold and OK, here it goes, I DO TALK TO THEM. I don't believe I just said that. Judy

Kat:

Hi Roy,

That CSA sounds like a really good idea for those unable to have their own garden.  But I do think there are numerous benefits to the process, so I know you will be glad to get back to it.


Hi Judy,

I hear how some of you are still wet and cool, your weather sounds nice to me right now, because we are having a hot dry spell.  Anyway I've heard that talking to plants does help them, maybe it's the positive energy they get that's helpful.  I have fussed over my house plants bringing them in and out when it's cold too.  And now moving them to the shade when they are getting too much sun.  Funny how we seem to have opposite problems, for sure a lot depends on where you live.  I guess they do seem sort of like pets  :)

mercy, peace and love
Kat
