Do you have any garden pics posted, Pat? It sounds as if you could
create a great garden history/methods site. With 20/20 hindsite, it
would have been instructive and interesting to see a pic of the frozen
greens and how they recovered (thank goodness).

Yes, it would have been nice. But I didn't.

We have a
digital camera, so I've no excuse.

I will try. I've been wanting to take photos as we went
along. I'm keeping good garden records, and photos would be
a great supplement to it.

[Something of a digression...and something of a whine]
Both DH and I have some fairly serious medical problems -
involving pain in both cases. What we've done in the garden
so far this year has cost us both a lot of pain, and taken a
lot of our (limited) available energy.

I try very hard to maintain a cheerful attitude, and there's
no particular point in complaining in public either, but
there it is.

We don't (can't) do what healthy people do. So it's a major
struggle. If we had more money, we could hire much of the
hard work done. If we were healthier, we'd be working and
have more money but then we wouldn't need to hire the work
done, but we are unable to work therefore don't have money
and can't hire the work done either. It's a vicious circle.

Anyway, I've barely been able to plant the things,
photographing them afterwards has not been possible.
[End Digression]

Because we're doing a lot of one-time-only jobs this year,
this year is particularly difficult - supports for vertical
vining crops, the tires for tire-gardening (they need to be
brought home and cut and filled with soil), constructing a
cold-frame and hoophouse, etc. Next year will be easy by
comparison.

But I will try VERY HARD to take photos, I really do want
them also. And if I take them, they'll be put on the web.
