Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I'm preparing to have an herb garden this year, just for the smells of the herbs. We don't eat all of them, but will sure use some. Also gonna have small tomatoes in pots. We have so many slugs in our area.....ugh We've grown strawberries in a container, they do very well. THere are also blueberries that like to live in hanging pots. Sharon in NW WashingtonAll I have seen teaches me to trust in the Creator for all that I have not seen. Ralph Waldo Emerson Re: Re: not treating Container gardening is a great way to garden if your space is limited. In fact I plan to do some this year also. Just to have them on my patio. Beans would work on a trellis. In fact that is what my mother used to do. Oh we got some good peppers last year. The were delish. Although I don't do hot peppers well, I was able to eat some of them with the seeds taken out. My son like to make armadillo eggs with Jalapenos. If any of you want the recipe, I will get it from him. He has his own bunch of recipes that he only will fix for the family. He doesn't often share with me the recipes. But for you guys he would give it up. LOL Love Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Photo E-mail Play slideshow | Download images Obviously, I love gardening. There is nothing better than a fresh picked tomato. Right now is citrus harvest in Arizona. I have a bumper crop of Blood Oranges. Yesterday, I picked two five gallon buckets of them and made 2 gallons of juice. If you haven't tried them, they have red flesh and taste like raspberry flavored oranges. This time last year I was just finishing treatment and think that the juice helped me a lot. We already have tomatoes, bell peppers, chiles and basil started as well as all of the flowers. I worked all of the way through treatment, but I am my own boss and just walk out the door and I am at work. Here is a couple of photos that I took yesterday. It was 80 degrees. LEE Re: Re: not treating Container gardening is a great way to garden if your space is limited. In fact I plan to do some this year also. Just to have them on my patio. Beans would work on a trellis. In fact that is what my mother used to do. Oh we got some good peppers last year. The were delish. Although I don't do hot peppers well, I was able to eat some of them with the seeds taken out. My son like to make armadillo eggs with Jalapenos. If any of you want the recipe, I will get it from him. He has his own bunch of recipes that he only will fix for the family. He doesn't often share with me the recipes. But for you guys he would give it up.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Oh Lee that is just too beautiful. I have never had blood oranges. I will have to look for them here. 2 gallons of Juice. "bet you can see me drolling through the computer screen." It was 68 degrees here yesterday. I was able to wear a light jacket when I went to the gym. Yeah I am working out too. LOL You are so right about vine ripe tomatoes. I love them as a snack alone. My daughter puts salt on them. I don't, I love the natural flavors. If you ever want a intern at the greenhouses let me know. I did a internship with a friend at her greenhouses and had a ball.

She tried planting beans last year and they just didn't take. But her sunflowers grew everywhere even in my yard. LOL I think she just cast the seeds, and some ended up in my yard. She is a cool elderly lady. I hope my peach trees do as well as they did last year. I had just planted them and they had flowers on them. I got 10 peaches off each tree.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 LOVE blood oranges,, they make wonderful granita too! Janet wrote: Oh Lee that is just too beautiful. I have never had blood oranges. I will have to look for them here. 2 gallons of Juice. "bet you can see me drolling through the computer screen." It was 68 degrees here yesterday. I was able to wear a light jacket when I went to the gym. Yeah I am working out too. LOL You are so right about vine ripe tomatoes. I love them as a snack alone. My daughter puts salt on them. I don't, I love the natural flavors. If you ever want a intern at the greenhouses let me know. I did a internship with a friend at her greenhouses and had a ball.

Right now is citrus harvest in Arizona. I have a bumper crop of Blood Oranges. Yesterday, I picked two five gallon buckets of them and made 2 gallons of juice. If you haven't tried them, they have red flesh and taste like raspberry flavored oranges. This time last year I was just finishing treatment and think that the juice helped me a lot. We already have tomatoes, bell peppers, chiles and basil started as well as all of the flowers. I worked all of the way through treatment, but I am my own boss and just walk out the door and I am at work. Here is a couple of photos that I took yesterday. It was 80 degrees. LEE Re: Re: not treating Container gardening is a great way to garden if your space is limited. In fact I plan to do some this year also. Just to have them on my patio. Beans would work on a trellis. In fact that is what my mother used to do. Oh we got some good peppers last year. The were delish. Although I don't do hot peppers well, I was able to eat some of them with the seeds taken out.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 How lucky are you!!! Although I know gardening is a lot of work, it would be heaven to live with fresh produce and the beauty of flowers growing all around. We've tried veggies and dome fruit here, but we have many squirrels and birds and slugs and such, so it becomes a challenge, so we quit. I just ordered some huge begonias and some lilies for dh for the coming summer. What a lovely greenhouse you have as well. I have NO doubt that the fresh fruit helped you during your tx. The best to you. Sharon in NW WashingtonAll I have seen teaches me to trust in the Creator for all that I have not seen.
