When i had a bigger veggie garden, i still never had enough foresight to get a fall garden started. Isn't it the most wonderful thing to see your child clutching in his hand the healthy food that you grew?!quiltcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957819126177446578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-59180481049354386522009-11-24T04:41:41.891-05:002009-11-24T04:41:41.891-05:00Dan, I left a longer comment on your blog but here...Dan, I left a longer comment on your blog but here is a video on sluggo.<br /><br />http://www.growingwisdom.com/index.aspx?pid=38&sid=1&cid=481Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303344546714641616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-37523640527633584612009-11-23T20:05:33.933-05:002009-11-23T20:05:33.933-05:00hmm I should really learn to proof read before I c...hmm I should really learn to proof read before I comment, ha! If you are looking for sluggo it is available by mail order from Pine Tree Garden Seeds, www.superseeds.com. I think I am going to order some, slugs get even worse in the spring.

I expect to see a wonderful fall garden from you next year!<br /><br />kitsapFG - Spinach is definitely one veggie that has grown on me since I've gotten older. I hope you try that variety next year. I highly recommend it!<br /><br />Dan - I went to the largest plant nursery near where we live and they were out of sluggo...or any other slug remedy for that matter. I looks like most nurseries have gotten rid of much of their inventory this time of year. <br /><br />Millhill- I would love to have you as a neighbor! We would have so much fun gardening and exploring!<br /><br />Daphne - onions???? It's so strange what kids will eat from the garden...I guess it's more about the novelty of it. But I also think there's an innate desire in all of us to harvest/forage. <br /><br />Lou- thank you for the reward...I will definitely drop by to claim it!<br /><br />Michelle - I will admit, the shells were pretty good. Hopefully one day, we can all sit down for a mega garden to table potluck!<br /><br />Ms. Nutty Gnome - I'm sorry to hear about your carrots! Since next year will be might first full year of growing, I will be interested to find out what works and does not work in my garden. <br /><br />Sally - I will be interested to see how some of my fall crops will do in the Spring, which I'm sure will present many different challenges.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303344546714641616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-24477249059601185962009-11-23T17:05:13.363-05:002009-11-23T17:05:13.363-05:00Lovely spinach and recipe it went in.

She did love the carrots, but the weird one was when she pulled the onions and ate them. Not the green onions mind you, but the big sharp onions. She would eat them just like an apple. My tastebuds would always cringe when I saw it but I would never say anything.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-6152293566278697132009-11-23T07:51:30.234-05:002009-11-23T07:51:30.234-05:00I used to wipe carrots off in the tall grass and e...I used to wipe carrots off in the tall grass and eat them right out of my grandfather's garden.
