I have not posted for a while. I kind of lost interest while I was
having heart problems, but I seem to be recovering enough to be
interested in gardening again. I actually got my garden tilled this
fall instead of spring as it normally happens.

I just got a Burpee and Stark Brothers catalogs. I plan to plant the
regular stuff. String beans, squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, okra,
peppers(though I specialize in killing them). I have an asparagus bed
as well. Perhaps some snow peas, radish and greens as a early garden.
I have some collards and cabbage now that look pretty good, but I
thought the bugs were going to devour them this fall. So greens for
greenbacks on new years day for us.


Hi Wes,

Thanks for posting in. I am more of a lurker than a
contributor. We also have had our share of health problems
limiting us on what we did the past two years.

We have planted a garden every year but we struggle to keep
it maintained for maximum performance. We do a lot of
canning and that continues to be a great interest of ours.
It really helps to enjoy the garden throughout the calendar
year by canning. A lot of the products we put up are jellys,
tomato sauces and hot pepper sauces.

Good luck with the garden next year and Happy New Year.
