Yes they are, but I am, too. I was raised w/ a garden and my job, was to water it at noc. I hated it, sometimes, because I wanted to go to the 'new pool". But not,until garden was watered. I am so glad, I did it now. I love the fact, that Ms. Obama, is promoting garden growing, also.

My kids want their own little garden. They are teenagers now. My oldest daughter is into sunflowers, my son had cherry tomato garden, and my youngest had a spot of flowers, and wanted pumpkins which was planted.

I will never forget, planting peas, once. And holy cow, did they over take. But, I love raw peas in the pod.

I didn't have time for my containers this year, but I was hoping to have time for a display of mums for the fall. Don't think I will bother with that, either. I am enjoying everyone else's, though!

Yes my neighbor shared fresh asparagus. I am not big on it, but it was good on the grill.

They claim that you can dig up a tomato plant or pepper plant, transplant it into a pot... and further grow over the winter, has anyone ever tried to do that? Just wondering if it would really work? ................... M

Have not tried transplanting them. Our garden is done except for the ghost peppers.

I have too TOSH with annual plants...but many years ago a friend of mine gave me a potted pepper plant that he dug up out of his garden. I had that plant in my kitchen for a couple of years, until it eventually dwindled out. A good friend of ours has a lemon tree which he hauls inside every winter, of course...but then he fertilizes that heck out of it though when it goes into dormancy in the winter. Then come summer he hauls this tree back outside, and does get several lemons from it too. I'd like to try to save at least a cherry tomato, or banana pepper plant, or both from our garden. Just was wondering if anyone has done this, and if so...what's the secret to success? M
