That is the ultimate goal though! We will have *knock on wood* some cukes to pickle. I've never done that before and I hope it works!Grey Catsidhehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658784505842947021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748434703367475033.post-89957297333925263042010-05-22T15:23:46.437-04:002010-05-22T15:23:46.437-04:00and then if you're really lucky, you have enou...and then if you're really lucky, you have enough food to warrant canning. Every August my parent's kitchen turns into a small factory--tomatoes love their soil, and it's so nice to open a jar in the middle of winter for that fresh summer taste.Lhinellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12385380869685102187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748434703367475033.post-58878380419183440522010-05-22T10:40:27.291-04:002010-05-22T10:40:27.291-04:00Thanks Lhinelle!

Unless you have horrible luck or there's a disaster of sorts, you'll have something to show for it - even if it's only one tomato. And no matter what, you learn lessons to take with you next year and, hopefully, produce more.Grey Catsidhehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658784505842947021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748434703367475033.post-91776337637193278732010-05-21T11:49:54.886-04:002010-05-21T11:49:54.886-04:00I remember as a child that we'd grow cherry to...I remember as a child that we'd grow cherry tomatoes and green beans against the wooden fence in the backyard. It was so much fun to stick a bean leaf on your shirt--nature's velcro! ^^<br /><br />Gardening is a great way to not only relax (ripping up weeds is a fantastic stress-reliever), but also to feel like you're doing something worth doing. It's really awesome to see all your hard work come up later in the summer as tall, green plants and ripening fruits and veggies that you can eat! <br /><br />PS Bonus points for finding an organic gardening center :)Lhinellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12385380869685102187noreply@blogger.com
