Oh I love those beautiful pumpkins and plants! I have some huge, lovely pumpkin plants-no blossoms and no pumpkins!!! Plenty of water, & some miracle grow, rich soil. (sob) My first try.

Thank you Chris! I think I'll go with the "animal by-product" and save the ammonia for cleaning windows. Ever hopeful, husband said possibly it could be used in a modest portion mixed with water. But for now, just water and our central valley heat is doing it's magic and my barrel of compost-to-be is breaking down and getting darker all the time! I'll try to get some photos online.

I'm looking for a green striped tomato with a mild flavor, I had one-yum!
Where are the vegetables at White Flower Farms? I just couldn't find any at the site, though they were listed on the home page(??)

I checked out Whiteflower farms and can't find ANY vegetables, although they say they have them! (?)

Acually the main purpose of my first garden is to give at our church. It goes to the Seniors, the food pantry and so out into the community. We end up trying out new fruits and veggies, and sharing recipes as well and I'm making some recipes on postcards with a photo of the recipe on it. It's a great way to meet, share and have fun with people. I want to say Thank You! to the Vegetable gardener site where I've learned so much!
