So, I'm scared of composting but I really want to start.

You would have thought I wouldn't have had to learn this since my dad is a farmer and all but yet again I didn't pick up that gene so I have had to cultivate it so to speak! Love the peppers- they look beautiful!Kitchen Belleicioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025789951330518415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76101787963356519.post-77754623782362456882011-10-08T09:45:09.795-07:002011-10-08T09:45:09.795-07:00Oh man!

I hardly gardened this year but can totally relate...I am a chronic over planter and have a hard time getting rid of seedlings...but I have always had great luck with tomatoes, peas, strawberries, lettuce, carrots and herbs...never been able to grow squash (they always get some weird fungus) and have hopefully learned to plant things I actually like to eat as opposed to things that I think are "cool" to grow ;) and yes, good soil makes all the difference!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08442464046701030967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76101787963356519.post-63642481163891270312011-10-08T09:09:14.974-07:002011-10-08T09:09:14.974-07:00Wow, I'm impressed!

Our only failures this year was eggplant and tomatillos - it JUST started fruiting which means there's no ways they'll make it to maturity before frost. I'm pretty disappointed. The nice thing is we're getting the list of veggies that we can grow (and that we use) to a science.<br /><br />JennThe Suburb Experimenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01758238506542199320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76101787963356519.post-47026274638781704842011-10-07T11:20:12.644-07:002011-10-07T11:20:12.644-07:00We have a couple of areas in our backyard that I t...We have a couple of areas in our backyard that I think would be good for gardening - definitely want to try next year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76101787963356519.post-10221884081646621912011-10-07T08:43:37.866-07:002011-10-07T08:43:37.866-07:00In my experience, just when you think you have thi...In my experience, just when you think you have things figured out in gardening -- it all changes! This past season was probably my least successful of all. But I took a lot of risks, tried new things and/or experimented with letting things go just to see what would happen. It didn't result well, but I learned a lot!180360https://www.blogger.com/profile/02440839854732725686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76101787963356519.post-63410483621483162322011-10-07T07:54:48.557-07:002011-10-07T07:54:48.557-07:00This is awesome, Torrie!

For me, anyway, gardening is always on a learning curve, looks like you learned quick and go so much out of it! Fun. I'd love a fall update when it's time...
