[QUOTE="Fran, post: 362779, member: 3"] Nancy, I planted veggies that I would eat in a salad. Tomatoes, spinach, onions, cucumbers, zucchini and green peppers. I try not to go overboard but it's so easy to plant tomatoes then wonder what to do with them when they are all ripe. I refuse to can veggies. Too many hot summer days peeling tomatoes as a kid. Anyhow, I tried 3 different type of tomato plant this year. We will see what happens. I must say I love to pick the first ripe tomato and take a bite right there in the garden. Add a little salt and eat it like an apple. The smell and taste just bring back pleasant memories of summer. Marcie, I have been stung by the mint monster when we were in Texas. I keep it in a separate pot on a concrete patio now so it doesn't take over. Mint and Bamboo tend to run amok. Last night I had crackers with a smear of brie, slice of strawberry and leaf of mint. Very refreshing. Then I put a leaf on the side of some lemon sorbet and added some blueberries. I keep trying to use seasonal fruit and add some things from the garden. I have a rosemary plant that is enormous. I could supply the whole neighborhood and still have some. It came with the house though. I can't take credit for it. So that's it for my gardening skills. I never really did do vegetable gardening until the last few years. Something about planting seeds or small plants, nurturing them and watching them grow. You get to enjoy the end result. Must be a mothering instinct. : ) Besides a difficult child plant won't be a lifelong worry. [/QUOTE]
