[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 143497, member: 1697"] LOL we were posting at the same time. It is starting to be my kids time, so my attention is not good right now.... um, so far I am doing just vinegar and crushed garlic on my salads and am enjoying it plenty enough. Maybe I will get tired of that and need to ad a dab of a healthier type oil eventulaly, maybe once some weight begins to go? you mentioned something I was unfamiliar with, starts with a k..??? My corn, I did read to not do it in one long row, I had like 3 rows or 4 by 3 or 4....yes, to help it pollinate, but.... the lettuce carrots and radishes? I am pretty sure lil critters kept eating them? I tried useing cayenne to repel them....but... SOme of my garden I think just got too much wind damage, and abuse, my sunflowers I think neighbors little day care charges were horseing around with them....a friend who gardens more than I thought maybe I needed fertilizer (manure) which he offered to provide me from his farm this year? and another 2 people thought maybe I could have chosen a more sunny spot...turns out some mulberry trees nearby shot up and out a LOT this year - more than I expected and did wind up interfereing. I did put some peppers, tomatos and the strawberries in very large pots, as well as some in garden plot, and the potted ones did LOTS better. Last year I did use chives, in omlets, on potatos in salads. I used a lot of fresh parsley.....I made mint tea for husband and difficult children boyfriend.they liked it, I didn't. MOstly I planted the herbs to attract hummingbirds andor butterflies, LOL. we used a little of the rosemary, here and there, to experiment with it. I still have flooding here and nothing is greening up yet, but, I remembered many things I have are perennials.....and I remember reading a couple of them take extra long to green up- and that I should not assume they died.....but, it has not quite yet been decent enough to really get out there, oh, die hard yard people might already be out, but......I have been pretty busy with follow ups far away and in between, the weather has been yukky when I have been here.
