All of our veggies are planted directly in the ground ... It works well, but it&#39;s kind of messy looking. I definitely want to do some raised beds next year.Jesshttp://jesshibb.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632242011487983205.post-88995325179413155922009-06-11T06:53:15.783-07:002009-06-11T06:53:15.783-07:00Can you write a post about HR 875/S425?<br /><br />http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/would_a_new_bill_in_congress_make.htmlJeremyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06259119938810518464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632242011487983205.post-12230789787604681892009-06-11T05:52:55.913-07:002009-06-11T05:52:55.913-07:00Yeah, that last sentence about the weeding, mulching, fertilizing, I know that takes a bunch of time. Also, the fact that you have a full time job is part of what of you do. Your garden looks splendid, and now that we know each in person, it is even more fun to read your blog.~~DeeDee/reddirtramblingshttp://www.reddirtramblings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632242011487983205.post-9643657714003146142009-06-09T21:32:12.885-07:002009-06-09T21:32:12.885-07:00Beckie - Thanks! I am really looking forward to a bumper crop of tomatoes and peppers. They look great and are dark green - no sign of any issues.<br /><br />EAL - Yes, Waspinator is a fixture in my spring/summer/fall garden!<br /><br />CeeCee - Thanks for the heads up. Did you use a nitrogen-heavy fertilizer? Sometimes that causes the plants to put on lots of lush growth at the expense of any fruit...<br /><br />Ross - I use a wide angle 10-20mm almost exclusively when I take pictures of my garden. I like to show thewholething!<br /><br />notsocrafty - I am hopeful for the tomatoes this year. Lots of TLC. We freeze our excess peppers, and look forward to canning/sauces this year, but we end up eating many of them too.<br /><br />rambleonrose - Yep! No such thing as too many peppers.Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10071261767244278953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632242011487983205.post-25521606274460293582009-06-09T18:09:32.105-07:002009-06-09T18:09:32.105-07:00mmm...habaneros...you can never have too many peppers!rambleonrosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18407299834073788678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632242011487983205.post-54667148163292081752009-06-09T11:16:55.589-07:002009-06-09T11:16:55.589-07:00I can&#39;t wait to read about your tomato varieties.

I planted 8 different varieties and ended up pulling all but 2. I could not get them to set fruit and the plants were getting enormous. I Googled my problem, but couldn&#39;t get a definitive answer. I pulled them before it was too late to plant the Home Depot hybrids (sigh).<br /><br />My garden and I have a date every night after dinner. I love it out there!CeeCeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14685492126157550044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632242011487983205.post-50818846291496994902009-06-07T19:41:01.474-07:002009-06-07T19:41:01.474-07:00I think I see your waspinator!EALhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03339266900036592543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632242011487983205.post-59038884917184280742009-06-07T19:06:52.001-07:002009-06-07T19:06:52.001-07:00Kate, I think it sounds as though you are doing a lot in the garden. I am very impressed with the number of raised beds you have in a small space. Your tomatoes and peppers are really showing your tender loving care and I&#39;ll bet you have a bumper crop. I remember when my girls were young and I did a lot of canning and freezing from our garden-every day something was ready to be picked and worked. But it was a lot of fun and gave such a feeling of accomplishment. Plus it sure tasted great in the middle of winter.beckiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06400859161321357279noreply@blogger.com
