I was pretty persistent in figuring out the drip system issues though if that counts.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10712167060974491049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-74739617430983347762007-07-18T22:13:00.000-04:002007-07-18T22:13:00.000-04:00Beans....here in Nova Scotia we fixate on somethin...Beans....here in Nova Scotia we fixate on something called hodgepodge. It is comprised of fresh green beans, yellow beans, small young peas, tender carrots,, and tiny new potatoes; all cooked together (not all at once--start with carrots and potatoes, add beans, and then peas for a couple of minutes. Timing is all.) Drain, add butter--yes butter, no slimy margarine allowed--and cream.

Congratulations on your fig! Even a small harvest can sometimes be a big triumph, can't it.<BR/><BR/>Old Roses... Yep, I often find myself saying, 'wait until next year'.

I know that I am becoming more and more involved in the from seed process not only because it is cheaper and better in many respects but also because it teaches me so much about patience and God's timing and miracles and that sometimes it is out of our hands and we must wait.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03418200517338216765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-1164667392995626392007-07-18T02:33:00.000-04:002007-07-18T02:33:00.000-04:00My gardening philosophy has always been that the b...My gardening philosophy has always been that the best thing about a garden is that there's always next year! Patience and gardening seem to go hand in hand.<BR/><BR/>Thank goodness for virtual meetings! I can pretend that my GBBD post which I just published was done on July 15.

The vegetable basket is a work of art, with beautiful shapes and colors.<BR/><BR/>You could tell Carolyn you're 'fixin' to cook a mess of beans' and get her all nostalgic. <BR/><BR/>I've been waiting to get a fig from the tree I planted here a while back. Two figs developed and ripened, and I just ate one. It's a small crop but wait until next year.<BR/>Annie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-78993144330937273782007-07-17T23:21:00.000-04:002007-07-17T23:21:00.000-04:00Carol, we invented the word "mess " down South, so...Carol, we invented the word "mess " down South, so two messes of beans is one for you and one for me.
