Garden 2006

mrnoodle · 03-09-2006, 09:39 AM

I imagine we'll have several bean and pea varieties, some carrots, maybe corn (although we lose so much corn to the raccoons it's hardly worth it). Green onions, red onions, tomatoes, some cilantro, cayenne or habanero peppers, and if i'm lucky, some okra. Growing okra in Colorado is pretty hilarious -- you get a knee-high plant, if you're lucky, with maybe 2 okras a week on it. Our cousins in MS get a kick out of that -- they send pics of okra plants that are 7 feet tall.

Gardening time is the only time I get jealous of all my southern relatives.
