Last year we had a couple of really neat and long threads on gardens, in May, and then again, in September. They were and, How did your garden grow this summer? The first posting in that one notes that it is the day of the very first Mudcat Radio Show, September 2nd.

Anyway, my son called today to tell me of the over-abundance of his garden this year. They are busy eating all manner of produce and giving it away as fast as they can because there is so much. He was even going to check into how much it would cost to overnight mom some fresh Indiana tomatoes!

As long as I remember to water mine, I have some lovely flowers, a mini-carnation with dozens of blooms. Some special pansies, called Jolly Joker, which are the FedEx colours. Our FedEx man back East took some samples to send to the company as a marketing suggestion. I just think they are pretty. I also have some marigolds and petunias. My pride and joy are a wild geranium, tansy,wild mountain mint, and blue phlox perennials which are acclimated and do not clamour for water so much.

So, how has your garden done this year, veggies and/or flowers?
