Some oh my Sweet 100's have ripened! They are so sweet; that they don't make it to the house! Of course they just started ripening; so I'm expecting that I won't keep up with them!

Thanks Ann; some of my favorite snacks are fresh out of the garden!

finding black spots on the bottom of the Roma tomatoes! Not on the others!

[orin stepanek]

Blackberry heaven! This year turns out to be my best year with my Blackberries! They are lush, plump and very sweet! Of course the birds aren't beating me to them!

[Ann]

Oh yum, blackberries!

Good luck with it! Is it really big?

Good luck with it! Is it really big?

Small garden: 18 tomato plants; 13 jalapenos; 1 bell; 4 dill; 4 burpless; 1 parsley! 2 blackberry shrubs !

[orin stepanek]

Probably won't be long and i'll have to start pulling up the garden! With the tomatoes and the cucumbers its been an OK year in the garden! No whopper tomatoes; but a plentiful harvest!

[orin stepanek]

It's hard to get around much anymore; so I suggested that next year we would only put in a couple of cucumber plants and let some volunteer tomatoes sprout up! She thought we could at least have a cherry and a large tomato plant! She knows how much I love cherry tomatoes! Well I guess I have been overruled! Gotta love her!

And I see where you're pushing toward that coveted 10,000 posts mark!
Say; what did they do with that discussion quorum anyway? It seems to have disappeared!

Wow; just about time to pull up my harvest! this of course will be the last year! Just too much much work for an 80 year old! Of course I will leave any volunteers that may sproute! Wasn't much of a crop this year!

It's a little sad and sentimental that you will give up your garden after this year. Of course, as an octogenarian, you have earned your rest. Please keep growing a few flowers, OK? And post a few more pictures of your flowers, and do keep making posts here at Starship Asterisk*!

You know Ann, It's a little early to be thinking about Spring; but, I have been thinking about planting Morning Glories around My whole garden area! Just for fun! I hope my seeds are good!

Orin, how lovely! I suspect you posted those beautiful flowers just for me, didn't you? Thank you! Whether or not you plant them (and I hope you do, of course) you made me happy by showing me a picture of them!

I tried to grow Morning Glory a couple of years ago, but this plant did not grow very well. True, then I used synthetic fertilizers. But I am a person who is interested in gardening, looking for options and would like to share my experience with others. Summer 2020 I have luxurious azaleas and hydrangeas. I think organic fertilizers, which I make myself on my site, also helped a lot. No, this is not what anyone would think. I just bought myself a composting device. I use the Goplus Compost Tumbler, but in my review I picked up a few options that gardeners might find useful.

No garden this year; too much work for me! My son wants one; but if he does; he has to do it on his own!

Well, if you want to get a harvest, you need to make an effort. If you do not have the time and desire to do this, then there is even no point in starting to do it.
