Lots of work but a very good payoff when you take that bite of freshly cut lettuce, etc. My favorites in our garden are eggplant, fried up with green pepper and onions ~ all freshly picked from the garden. Yummy! This year we have raspberries, onions, pumpkins, yellow squash, zuchini, butternuts, eggplants, green pepper, tomatoes, potatoes, peas, green beans, radishes, lettuce, and various herbs. (It's a very large garden.) Plus, apples and plums from our small orchard. Thanks for sharing all your lovely photos!Kat S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10102318828765195431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1159502932678410189.post-49326652788174156312009-06-30T08:38:36.623-04:002009-06-30T08:38:36.623-04:00Dee...

We don't get all day sun but enough to make things grow.<br /><br />We just met a couple who live in our neighborhood who have planted a vegetable garden in their front yard beds...only place they have sun as their backyard has a large tree in it. Funny thing is the HOA sent them a letter about their "landscaping"....hmmm...maybe they need to mind their own business. <br /><br />Ddee begghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03454376668751849560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1159502932678410189.post-2576233661612847912009-06-28T16:52:57.984-04:002009-06-28T16:52:57.984-04:00Doris,

The male flower doesn't have a fruit, just a stem with the flower. For the most part the female flowers are opened in the morning. You can hand pollenate them but putting your finger in the make and rubbing it on the pistal to collect the pollen and then rubbing it in the female flowers inside. I'll have to try to get a picture next time to show.<br /><br />Thanks for the compliments on my flowers and gardens.<br /><br />Ddee begghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03454376668751849560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1159502932678410189.post-89999566532346711102009-06-28T16:29:02.137-04:002009-06-28T16:29:02.137-04:00Love those petunia baskets the way you have them d...Love those petunia baskets the way you have them displayed...gorgeous.
