What grew best for you this year?
I am in Zone 6 in Kentucky and my tomatoes, green peppers,
jalapeno peppers and habernero peppers all thrived and I have many bags of them stored in my freezer for chili this winter. Strangely, my squash and zucchini, which usually grow like weeds, did not do well. Nor did my egglant. Andrea |

WEEDS!!!!
With all that heavy rain, the grass grew higher than an elephant's behind!!!! Is it true that down there in Kentucky, your grass does blue humor? I don't know what you're going to call that corn whiskey of yours but by the time you get to Bourbon county, you're bound to think of something?!!!! Andrea Bostrom wrote in message ...

The absolute best was actually the fig tree if rated for performance. It set fruits earlier than it ever had. In March. Then when it started ripeniing come the end of August, it started cranking out figs unlike any other time in the last three years it's produced fruit. And it's still cranking out figs. Great huge ones that are sweeter than I would have thought possible for early October. I have three pounds of them in the fridge and I need a receipe because I hate to throw them away when they turn. madgardener up on the ridge, back in fairy holler, which overlooks English Mountain in Eastern Tennessee in zone 7, Sunset zone 36 |

My Tomato's did very well but the Bronze Fennel was a real showpiece.
Lavender did exceptionally well as did the dandelions....;-) Dave Sterling Heights, MI On 12 Oct 2003 13:37:28 GMT, (Andrea Bostrom) wrote: I am in Zone 6 in Kentucky and my tomatoes, green peppers, jalapeno peppers and habernero peppers all thrived and I have many bags of them stored in my freezer for chili this winter.

Andrea Overall had probably the worst 'yield' year ever - with the exception of beans - jars and jars of those. My tomato yields were down (30lbs as opposed to ~50 last yr) as were sweet peppers - not enough consistent sun this yr. Hot Thai peppers did well as did cayennes. All the herbs did awesome - especially basil and dill. Tina |

Other than that, the Leeland Cypres and Arbor Vitae grew well. Terrible year for fruit. |

Want to swap some for 'maters, peppers, or okra - just kidding! (My tomatoes did get a purple ribbon for best vegetables at our county fair. G) The garden wasn't quite as good as usual, but I still had more tomatoes, peppers, and okra than I wanted and an adequate supply of winter squash and cucumbers. I shared a lot of them with friends and our neighbors down the street who have two small children. I planted a fall crop of green beans in early August (need to plant earlier) and they are doing well now, but frost a given in the next couple of weeks. I also have a fall crop of radishes that are just starting, but the frost won't bother them. John |

Basil went crazy here, as did carrots, radishes, peppers, watermelon (my
first year with that one), beets and tomatoes. I had several other things in too...but seeing as this was our first garden this year (grass there last year) it did pretty decently. Got a good dump of 'poo' from my dad's barnyard and away went the garden! Gonna dump again this fall for next year, better again next year I hope! Also, we added to the garden, its 5 times the size of this year's 'patch' now. Got horseradish and garlic planted for next year already....gotta cover it this fall though for winter. We live in eastern Ontario, roughly zone 4/5. Cheers! Greenthumbs and brown nails from Wolf Grove Hollow.! Jenny "Cereoid-UR12-" wrote in message m... WEEDS!!!!
