Baby Carrots and Beets. Already harvested and froze quite a few beets. Am planting more where the garlic was. The baby carrots are not doing well. Other years they get bigger than baby carrots. I think that particular box might not be where it likes to be. Had them in another location for 3 years that got more shade during the hottest part of the day and also was easier to keep the moisture even.

Thanks.

Living in a heavily wooded area means that I can plant in my front yard without the neighbors having a fit.

The older I get the harder it is to keep up with all the yard work but isn't that what family it for? (come help Grandma) That's why I changed to SFG so I wouldn't have to work so hard. Took lots of time and hard work to get it built but now it's easy.

Lucky you! I have a volunteer tomato plant in the front yard flower garden and my husband keeps wanting to take it out!

We have gone way too far with rules regarding private property. I realize that there are some who abuse the neighborhood with a messy yard but most people don't. Fine the messy yard and charge them for a yard "do over" and leave the rest of the people alone. Okay, I guess I can say this because I don't live in a town or city.

looking good...wish I had some of that lettuce for BLT's.

I would share some with you but I am quite sure it would be a wilted mess by the time it got to your house.

I'm getting a bit tired of it and have been giving lots to kids and grandkids.
