My lack of a garden really got to me by May 5. So I scrambled to get in a
few things. Six tomato plants (pitiful, pitful); 6 eggplant, 6 peppers; 4
rows of popcorn, 3 bean teepees, 6 squash; 5 pounds of 'taters.. I feel a
little better, but the tiny amounts are depressing as all get out.
The shallots Margaret sent last Fall are a glory....I figure they will be
ready to harvest in less than 30 days. Just in time for me to start seed
for a REAL fall garden <bg>.
