I'm pretty sure our last frost date is May 15 and our my first frost date is Oct. 1 or 15, giving us only five months of frost free gardening. <br /><br />It's been unusually warm here, too. But not terribly humid, thank goodness.<br /><br /><br /><br />Lori...<br />Lemons?!! Oh I'm so jealous. I remember you planting that tree! <br /><br />Isn't bougainvillea a gorgeous flowering vine? And you want to PULL it? LOL! But I get the desire to have a garden. It's such a rewarding hobby. : ) <br /><br /><br />Michelle...<br />LOLOLOL! That is TOO cute! <br /><br /><br />Dottie... <br />I definitely seem to have more of a green thumb with things that grow by accident in my garden like this cherry tomato plant. LOL! <br /><br />And boy, wouldn't your black thumb be a gold mine if it worked on poison ivy?!!! <br /><br />I see your Tink profile pic is decked out for Halloween! Love it! : )Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-91322591560532096202010-09-23T23:48:09.616-04:002010-09-23T23:48:09.616-04:00My mom is the tomato grower in our family, in fact...My mom is the tomato grower in our family, in fact, all I have to do is touch a green plant, and they turn up those toes and die! I don't have a green thumb or even a brown one, I have a black thumb to bring death to the hardiest of plants, expect for poison ivy, grows nicely the shrubs.<br /><br />Dottie :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688849410604429533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-40315308720724989852010-09-23T21:25:33.795-04:002010-09-23T21:25:33.795-04:00The kiddo likes to pick the green tomatoes so we d...The kiddo likes to pick the green tomatoes so we don't have too many left on our vines. :(Michelle (Red Headed Book Child)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02203139179710289533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-55077469335314232422010-09-23T17:33:43.707-04:002010-09-23T17:33:43.707-04:00What a hardy little plant!

Although I want to have a tomato plant next year. And I keep trying to get my hubby to pull out a bougainvillea where I want to start a garden, but so far, no go.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250972350798310498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-84486096193730033472010-09-23T14:10:26.245-04:002010-09-23T14:10:26.245-04:00We still have some tomato plants flowering and wit...We still have some tomato plants flowering and with green tomatoes on them. We also have green mini jalapenos that are still growing as well. Any our strawberry plant is still bearing fruit. I blame the 90 degree days here right now. It may officially be Fall, but it still feels like summer here. <br />I hope your tomato plant survives and gives you lovely tomatoes! <br /><br />Hope you're having a good week!Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738504696243512495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-19340029600216429312010-09-23T13:55:30.755-04:002010-09-23T13:55:30.755-04:00orannia....

Peppers I don't have a lot of success with--they take up a lot of space and take forever to produce a handful of red peppers (I don't care for green), although I have enjoyed growing my own supply of chilies for the winter in the past. Have fun planning ... and I hope you can get out and weed soon! <br /><br />nath... <br />I'm counting on those few cherry tomatoes. I think I can make it happen, too. This spot is sort of sheltered by the door so I'll remember to cover it with a sheet if frost threatens... wish me luck!

I had quite a few trying to grow in my vegetable garden over the winter :)<br /><br /><i>If you live in the southern hemisphere, are you planning your vegetable garden for this summer already? What are you planning to grow?</i><br /><br />Oh, thank you for thinking of us down here *grin* The weather is atrocious here ATM, even though it is spring. All I want is a fine weekend so I can weed! Haven't decided exactly what to plant, but probably tomatoes, peppers, chillies and beans to start.oranniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007355589161084262noreply@blogger.com
