I still have tomatoes and eggplant growing in my raised garden. In the back garden I have alot of watermelons. So now I am not ready, yet.

I still have my summer crops going. Okra, sweet potato, eggplant, malabar spinach. Oh and my tomatoes are still hanging on from spring. But I have started seeds for fall and I have been composting my new bed.

I'm working to get my beds set up. It's going to be a frantic couple of days around here. I have most of my seeds in hand and ready to go, but am having some issues finding Yukon Gold seed potatoes. Every site I have gone to says they are sold out or the soonest they will ship is January. Do you know who you will be getting your seed potatoes from yet? I could really use some help finding a supplier!

Hi Organicmomma, looks like you have been as busy as me lol. I checked out your blog, what a great job you have done on it. The picts are great, especially that little cutie. Don't forget to include and teach her what you are doing. Something tells me that it may not be very long until our children and grandchildren may need to know how to grow there own food. I know that my grandson Aydyn is just loving learning about all the plants and how to care for them. He's soaking it up like a sponge. I had to take out 2 of my lettuce plants today to make room for the rest, and man you would have thought the boy was eating a candy bar or ice cream instead of lettuce, LOL. Anyhow it's very nice meeting you. Keep up the great work, and I will talk to you soon. Below is a link to some picts of what I have been up to this season.

I am just ready for fall. My garden needs serious help. Dad paid the neighbor boy to mow down the weeds in the bed I plant in. Unfortunately he also took out a rose bush (Julio Iglesius) Two clumps of sedum and a Lantana. I imagine the sedum will come back. I am currently looking for good source of rose plants. Preferably fortunia root or own root.

I don't think you can kill lantana, Melisandes. It will be back, given time to regrow from the roots.

I am sooo not ready, because the skeeters are driving me crazy here, so I don't spend any more time outside than I can help.

I'm ready emotionally! Very excited. This is my first thought-out/planned garden. I'm ready to get going and see what happens. I'm still realistic, but have high hopes!

I'm ready for the dang mosquitoes to leave so I can go outside again.

I read to rub Bounce all over your exposed skin and tuck the sheet in your waist band and it will repell the mosquitoes. I haven't tried it yet my self though.
