I introduced my grandchildren to tomato sandwiches and they thought they had eaten a delicacy...their sweet mama doesn't like tomatoes thus no "mater" sandwiches have been made. Poor children...I had to rectify the travesty of never having eaten a "mater" sandwich!! Wish I could share some of my garden bounty!

They do well in our coolness. Have you tried rhubarb? We used to have our's in pots and they did well. The leaves might not be too tasty to the critters and the stalks are great in so many things. So far we are just harvesting lettuce, but I am hopeful the two larger cucumbers on my One, yes one, surviving plant make it and the various broccoli are getting close! It is so nice to have the leafy, green plants even if they don't produce!!Sharon Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12306529969593583312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-58317273472992943842013-07-22T10:33:22.623-05:002013-07-22T10:33:22.623-05:00You could plant your tomatoes anytime.

Hopefully, they will begin baring when the first ones stop.<br />I heard a speaker talk about pot potatoes once, he said pull the plant up, pick off what you want for dinner and put it back in the pot and it will keep producing, don't know if that's true.<br />We have trouble with varmints digging up our produce, too. try putting some netting around the pot, or sprinkle pepper on the soil, maybe it will work. We net our Strawberries and Blackberries.<br />Mama BearLove Bears All Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04091529156071883508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-47674593870054968592013-07-22T10:05:31.522-05:002013-07-22T10:05:31.522-05:00Even if you do not get a bumper crop it is always ...Even if you do not get a bumper crop it is always a great delight to enjoy that first produce from the garden.Needled Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07749314475716010490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-40018534020172691722013-07-22T05:16:15.173-05:002013-07-22T05:16:15.173-05:00Beautiful, and productive too!

I have thought about a porch garden....haven't tried yet though. I told my neighbor one day as I was planting flowers...."I'm planting flowers so I can kill them later." Because they never seem to thrive. I'm losing a rose bush this year that grew in my grandmother's garden. That will hurt.Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13077173669350770709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-80472101368041504992013-07-21T15:43:47.900-05:002013-07-21T15:43:47.900-05:00I had the yummiest dish in Italy - battered and fr...I had the yummiest dish in Italy - battered and fried zucchini flowers!
