Your cabbage is beautiful as is your Swiss Chard. I can see why you chose cardoon with it being 12' across! Dinosaur food to say the least. We have soapwort that we call our monster plant because it will take over everything if we don't cut it back. But it's so pretty and has such a great smell we let it stay!<br />Thanks so much for faving my blog and I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner but was sick in the hospital, got out and overdid I guess and got pnemonia.

I don't grow vegies on purpose. The birds have planted a few pumpkins which I enjoyed very much. A neighbor gave me a truck load of tomato plants that got blight and turned to black mush. I do buy ornamental cabbage every winter for the splash of color but have to keep them on the porch or they end up like the tomatos. <br />I think it's cool that you think to share with the local jail. First of all I think it's cool that you refer to it as the local jail and cook. Secondly I think it is pretty darn decent of you to remember that people are still people even when they end up in jail. (Really bad people excluded, I'm still mad at them.)LeSanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07939320676822416742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774561685078213024.post-5846475589616784612009-11-15T01:53:24.307-06:002009-11-15T01:53:24.307-06:00Your vegies look very very healthy and green and o...Your vegies look very very healthy and green and organic.

Or, at least not cooked to mush.<br /><br />I love green beans, and I can be found at the trellis where they grow, grazing on green beans. My husband thinks I have lost my mind, eating raw green beans, but I love them. I also like them cooked.<br /><br />I love beets, cooked, but not raw. I like turnips, raw, in salads, cauliflower, raw also. I do not like broccoli. and I do not eat that Swiss chard. <br /><br />It seems to me that we used to have to ear rhubarb and strawberry pie as a kid, and I never got over it. I associate the chard with the rhubarb, I think.<br /><br />Anyway, I don't like any veggies boiled and mushy. Or slimy, like okra. Fried okra is great, but cannot get that boiled okra down. LOL<br /><br />I love to grow Brussels sprouts. Kids are fascinated with them, so I like to grow them. It is a good way to teach the kids. Kids these days don't know where our food comes from; they think Kroger or HEB is the source. I think that is too sad. I think we should give every one of them a bucket of dirt and a few seeds, and let them grow squash, or okra, or cabbage.janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16978979417557447666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774561685078213024.post-69176030520037601532009-11-13T20:06:21.359-06:002009-11-13T20:06:21.359-06:00Wow, what a beautiful garden!

I even tried growing them one year, but I still didn't like to eat them. I would love to start some asparagus. Unfortunately, I just don't seem to have time for a fall garden these days. I do manage a small spring garden. <br />Blessings,<br />LorileeLorileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03696859749272239553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774561685078213024.post-19183718958650320172009-11-13T16:55:27.688-06:002009-11-13T16:55:27.688-06:00Hi Janie,
