You shoul...That's fantastic--what a great crop! You should be proud! We've started picking tomatoes here now, we had to pull out our cucumbers because they were being swamped by aphids, although we did get quite a few good cucumbers. Zucchini's still going strong, basil and peppers are looking good. Yay summer! Fabulous peaches all around!Nicolehttp://bluebicicletta.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3672292982191075125.post-41958608888242374962009-07-13T10:44:28.978-04:002009-07-13T10:44:28.978-04:00the marigolds we bought at the nursery have stayed...the marigolds we bought at the nursery have stayed small, but the ones we planted from seed are giant! <br /><br />I have to dig up potatoes, but we are not sure if they made it or not (we planted potato eyes as an experiment). Our radishes came up all right in june, and we have yet to pick the carrots as well, but we have had a pretty rainy spring/summer here too. <br /><br />Our Sicilian neighbor calls Swiss Chard 'Gile' the 'g' pronounced as if you were saying the name Gigi as the French do "SJisji". (? Does that make sense?) He told us to boil it, then saute it with garlic and olive oil. It was delicious.<br /><br />Good luck with the new planting!Rosemary/sonriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15526834495219216875noreply@blogger.com
