They are starting to yellow at the bottom and I know that's not a good sign. The beans are so big, pretty soon I should see some blooms. Tomatoes have blooms as do the squash plants. I have no idea how things will turn out but I am hopeful every year. My basil is pretty small but it's growing. The butterflies haven't laid their eggs on my parsley yet but I am sure they will. I love doing the gardening thing but I think we don't get enough out of it to pay for the supplies we put into it. I will post a garden update soon.vlb5757https://www.blogger.com/profile/05444876262831798051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21832089.post-72340420524395920722008-06-11T23:33:00.000-07:002008-06-11T23:33:00.000-07:00How is your garden holding out in your heat?

My husband spent last summer and spring in Virginia and luckily his quarters had air conditioning. I am insisting we buy an air conditioner this year, I love gardening, I hate sweating.Bobbisoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551678947405822982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21832089.post-26192934300103483862008-05-16T06:00:00.000-07:002008-05-16T06:00:00.000-07:00I am hoping to get some basil in here shortly, may...I am hoping to get some basil in here shortly, maybe this weekend. I do love basil but I really love rosemary and thyme more. I have two different kinds of thyme and I have a small rosemary bush in the front yard. I also have chives, oregano, cilantro, parsley and lavendar. I would love to expand my herbs but we are going to be moving things around for the next few months and so they might have to wait until next year. I would love to have a just a herb bed.vlb5757https://www.blogger.com/profile/05444876262831798051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21832089.post-86910957189843391012008-05-16T05:21:00.000-07:002008-05-16T05:21:00.000-07:00ooh I am jealous . except I would have one whole ...ooh I am jealous . except I would have one whole bed of BASIL, all varieties.

There is something so comforting in touching the dirt and feeling it in your hands. I sure hope all that hard work pays off. There is just this sense of satisfaction having veggies that you grew from your own little garden. It's like knitting; you created it. Even when we couldn't have a garden, I have always had plants. I just love them.vlb5757https://www.blogger.com/profile/05444876262831798051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21832089.post-27461135189794395602008-05-14T17:59:00.000-07:002008-05-14T17:59:00.000-07:00What a lot of work that must have been!

I travel too much now to have a garden, but I love the fresh veggies!Susan Lunihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17799333297406389634noreply@blogger.com
