    WOW!! Tell her what a wonderful job she did. I'm really impressed!

    In Florida, if you haven't picked it by now, it's probably dead. :D

    I don't see what you are referring to, @Frank Sanoica. She is not in the picture. Are you referring to the bee? I think I posted a photo last year that had her in it as she was finishing it up, but no this year.

    We lived in south Georgia before we moved to Alaska, so I know what you mean. I think okra, watermelons and summer squash were the only things that survived the summer heat, and that is if the bugs and squash borers didn't get them. I will tell her, @Bess Barber. Thanks for your comment. She won a grand champion ribbon and the premiums that come along with that.

    @Don Alaska
    Evidently, paid commercial advertising is added to the image intended, only to appear as PCs open the link. At any rate, this image appears directly above the display of wares:

    I think that is an ED commercial advert attached to the post by someone else.

    I finally got my taters planted yesterday. I'm not planning to have much of a garden this year. Last year I had a good corn crop, lots of cucumbers and plenty of okra. Along with the asparagus which comes up every year that was it. Oh, there was some dill that came up on its own which was used with the cucumbers to make pickles. I'm not sure what else I will plant this year.

    Since our winter was so mild, the ground never became frozen, so many of my friends are beginning to prepare flower beds.

    Planting, no. We still have a couple of feet of snow on the ground, and will likely get more before winter is over. We are on the downhill side of it, though.

    The okra that I started inside has just started to sprout. I should be able to move it outside soon, as long as the weather stays warm here. I need to find another old tire to use as a planter for it. The dirt here is terrible for growing anything, and is either mud or baked clay, and hard to dig, either way; so planting in containers seems to be the only decent alternative.

    Starting two Sweet Million cherry tomatoes today, seven weeks before all frost has passed as the instructions say. They are vining and will take over an area if all goes well.
