Have you got them covered back up again, so they'll really heat up? Remember how hot it was under there early in the spring?<br /><br />Swiss chard is mostly a non-failure plant. Makes us feel good about our gardening skills. Yesterday I sent Michael down to pick some for his dinner. I said "fifteen of the biggest leaves" as it was getting out of control. <br /><br />Well, he had a lot of Swiss chard to eat. We decided a good serving is about 4 big leaves. lol<br /><br />I am really beginning to hate cabbage moths. But I hate the poison it takes to win over them. There has GOT to be a better way!<br /><br />~FaithFaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15491898004275353526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4639463329089942340.post-69881156091476381682010-09-05T11:40:18.565-04:002010-09-05T11:40:18.565-04:00Up here, peppers must come in packs.

I have another bell starting, and a few more jalapeno but no eggplant and none of the banana type.<br />When i was a kid, i remember my parents planting many peppers. They like heat for longer than we get up here. <br />I still plant them though, i was hoping my raised beds might make a difference but i don't think i'm noticing it.<br /><br />My swiss chard is going like mad, i might try canning it. I am going to try eating it, it can't possibly taste as muddy as it smells.<br />Its the best thing in the garden this year, i better get myself eating it. lol<br /><br />I need to use some BT again on my own greens the cabbage butterflies dance around my garden like its their own personal ballroom.icebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04688755441418251036noreply@blogger.com
