[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 447996, member: 84"] Well, if I could learn to cook them the way my neighbor did or even close.....um, they'd be the main dish. lol They were delicious. Upallnight, we didn't get our garden's in this year due to all the rain, then easy child's accident. Such a disappointment. So we're buying whatever comes up dirt cheap and are going to can it. It's all we can do right now. I have this weird "gift" for growing things. No clue how or why. Used to fascinate mother in law who used to have the most beautiful flowers and wonderful veggie garden. It just frustrates my mom who could manage to kill a plastic plant. I don't really do anything special that I can figure. They just grow for me. I've got flowers that should have only lasted a season that continue to come back year after year. Right now I'm having a major brain fart, so can't recall the names of them.....one is marigolds. I can grow things in the wrong places, or wrong soil types. I can put a "shade" plant into full sun and have it flourish. mother in law would just shake her head over my daffodils ect because she had a whole technique to planting and caring for them.........and I'd just buy potted ones at the store, dig a hole and stick them in. I don't even think I got the depth for the bulbs right........and they grow great and multiply. She'd ask me what I did and all I could ever tell her was I just put it into the ground. She'd just shake her head. I've had to watch where the kids carve pumpkins.......because I keep popping up with pumpkin vines where I don't want them to be. It's been like that every since I can remember. I used to garden and tend the yard with my Dad. Like I said, I don't do anything special. And I don't complain, cuz I'm no expert gardener by a long shot, but still my stuff tends to grow well. Maybe I picked up on tricks my Dad used to use and it's automatic or something, I dunno.
