Guest guest Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I meant to write hummingbird moth...sorry. ________________________________ To: " fibromyalgiacured " <fibromyalgiacured > Sent: Wednesday, March 7, 2012 9:28 PM Subject: : broccoli  How wonderful to have your husband AND your stepdad join in with this wonderful project. Just a note, if you do have squirrels, they do like young greens. Here is an article on your question though it isn't an organic site: http://www.vegetable-gardening-made-simple.com/growing-broccoli-02.html I am going to look into peanuts, oh,I planted artichokes. This makes a beautiful shrub plant that is used for decoration when planting vegetables within the garden. Eggplants are easy to grow as well. For tomatoes keep an eye out for the hummingbird...beautiful but a real bad dude on the plants. http://www.vegedge.umn.edu/vegpest/hornworm.htm I keep a few parsleys...I cater to butterflies, Ilet them use a few and I keep one for myself. Try Lemongrass...great for anxiety and tummy or just plain tea enjoyment. Basil can be frozen with water in a bag same with strawberries. Do oregano also medicinal. Lemon Verbena...beautiful fragrance. Rosemary, Lemonbalm, ...aromatic, once you get into herbs and their uses you will stay herbed! ________________________________ From: Gianni ni To: fibromyalgiacured Sent: Wednesday, March 7, 2012 8:48 PM Subject: Re: Re: : broccoli  I will have to try planting it. I love it. Are there any bugs that I should watch out for that attack it? I have always just grown tomatoes, herbs, bell peppers and hot peppers. But this year I want to try carrots, onions, lettuce and garlic. I am also going to try cucumbers to pickle this year. We only have a 50 foot by 4 foot area so even though I thought it was enough its not so I got a raised bed kit that my husband and my step dad are going to put together this Sunday to extend our growing area. I do have two strawberry plants but the squirrels eat them. I just read a great article in http://www.organicgardening.com/ about growing peanuts. ( if you dont get this I highly recommend it) We are going to try them in the front of our house. I did send a note to our city council about the living art and planting fruit trees and they are sending it to our tree committee. I got a response right away which I was happy to see. I am going to go plant some rosemary by our library! Austin sounds wonderful. I have a good friend who lives there and he loves it.

In case you may not know, Broccoli is one of the most nutritious plants grown in the world...it lowers cholesterol, cleans out system, purifies the blood added to the vitamins it contains. ________________________________ To: fibromyalgiacured Sent: Wednesday, March 7, 2012 4:30 AM Subject: Re: Re: : broccoli Hello That is wonderful that you have broccoli did you plant it? I have a funny story to share about broccoli. There was an Italian man who worked at a race track many years ago and there was a big race coming and the track owners told the man they needed an area to have lots of green for the horse owners etc to have their photos taken and they needed it quickly, so he grew broccoli!

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I dont think we have them here in Northern California, my squirrels eat my tomatoes and my red bell peppers. I even feed them peanuts and walnuts since my neighbors cut down all their trees to plant grass... We have so much rosemary and the bees love it. I will try the other herbs you suggested. I have oregano parsley basil thyme and sage Ciao- Ange ________________________________ To: " fibromyalgiacured " <fibromyalgiacured > Sent: Wed, March 7, 2012 9:01:59 PM Subject: : broccoli CORRECTION I meant to write hummingbird moth...sorry. ________________________________ To: " fibromyalgiacured " <fibromyalgiacured > Sent: Wednesday, March 7, 2012 9:28 PM Subject: : broccoli How wonderful to have your husband AND your stepdad join in with this wonderful project.
