Now I'll pass them on to people with firepits. <br /><br />CG: I will let you know. I'm very anxious to try it because my hands and feet are currently alive with throbbing nerve endings. I hope the cream is Evelyn in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273654056979750579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384214209371295172.post-49462690110293666202010-07-27T09:23:49.211-06:002010-07-27T09:23:49.211-06:00Thank-you for the lovely tour!

Very impressive, I really see the "permaculture" taking wonderful shape on your property!<br /><br />We've been enjoying the carrots and beats that we've taken out to help space them. As well as snap peas (or mange-toutes, as we call them) lettuce, beet tops in salads and steamed with some vinegar, and bbq'ed onions and garlic.<br /><br />Oh Patty-Jean from LittleQuiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09585757754631980339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384214209371295172.post-62388586991656225602010-07-17T19:11:11.361-06:002010-07-17T19:11:11.361-06:00Oh goodness you're having far more success tha...Oh goodness you're having far more success than I am! I have had to change my strategy now that I realize the 'sod' is quackgrass, so that's set me back some. Still, my borage plant is blooming and it's very pretty - and I have calendula EVERYWHERE! Good thing I use it (like you) for ointments.<br /><br />For the peas/corn combo - next year try sunflowers. They grow fast Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08892085037131749502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384214209371295172.post-49598201481511503562010-07-15T17:30:21.623-06:002010-07-15T17:30:21.623-06:00looks good ev, keep me posted on the calendula cre...looks good ev, keep me posted on the calendula cream and how it turns out.cgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384214209371295172.post-53704128873333002692010-07-15T13:00:01.718-06:002010-07-15T13:00:01.718-06:00Thanks for the tour!

Being in an apartment pretty much kills any idea of growing (the air conditioner kills anything we've tried), though even on the ground, I'm not sure I'd be much of a gardner. I can appreciate the beauty of yours though!Coraleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18003258755318538515noreply@blogger.com
