I love it!<br /><br />I think everyone should just start hoping for much more warm weather. I have hardly taken in any tomatoes at all yet this year, and man do I really want to can some sauce. Hopefully you can get some more melons out of the season, and I can get lots more tomatoes. :)Prairie Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03036436697268048651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107727598493805243.post-61013793387755467062011-08-18T22:34:16.876-04:002011-08-18T22:34:16.876-04:00Hi Jane, thankfully we haven't had many bugs. ...Hi Jane, thankfully we haven't had many bugs.

I'll do it first thing tonight. Thanks for the advice. And thanks for mentioning the leeks. We planted them quite late, after we were told they overwinter well. Can't wait to make them a part of a hot winter meal.Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442310215979259623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107727598493805243.post-70673833746672131932011-08-18T09:06:28.653-04:002011-08-18T09:06:28.653-04:00It's that time of the year when parts of the g...It's that time of the year when parts of the garden begins to look a little messy and unhappy. I would pick those spaghetti squash before some bug gets in to them. They are ripe and will store all year in the house. I had mine sitting outside on a table in the sun for a few days. Now they are on the back porch out of the rain. <br /><br />Your romaine looks great and you just may get some more melons...you never know!<br /><br />I also purchased some cauliflower and broccoli starts and need to get them in the ground as soon as the weather cooperates. I haven't purchased a plant in years but I got too busy.<br /><br />Those leeks will do just fine out there right through the winter. Last year I didn't pull the first one until October and the last one was pulled late in the winter. It's a nice winter treat to make some fresh Leek & Potato Soup!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.com
