    What are You Eating from the Garden?

    tomatoes canned and extras usually enjoyed with some butter on them. :) extra peppers (green, red, mixed, and some hot too) if any left over i always enjoy eating raw or cooked. onions we have plenty of.

    @SusanneinHastings Top Notch beans were our favorite wax beans for several years in a row. then i tried several other wax beans but none of them seemed to do as well as Top Notch.

    Anyone else start planning next year's garden this time of year?

    most of my planning usually runs several years in advance. downsizing some things and making room for other things that Mom wants more of we usually talk about this in the middle of winter and then i try to fine tune it for the various garden spaces.

    If You Could Grow Only One Crop This Season, What Would It Be?

    yes, this is the time of the year when beans are somewhat finishing up and they can look rather beat up between the weather, Japanese Beetles and the dropping leaves. time to get picking as soon as i can get around to it again. a lot of other things going on...
