BerniceC: I have an italian friend,has an old sage that he has let grow into a bush about 3 1/2 feet round.it is fragrant & so beautiful when it blooms.
scarlet is going to plant oreo cookies in her garden.
ScarletRose: mint is great..but beware.it grows by extending underground rhizomes..it is very invasive...and hard to fence in or even get rid of.plant it in pots or surropund it with a big circular piece of metal planted in the ground.
ScarletRose: I'm going to plant:
broccoli
khol rabi
green & yellow bush beans
artichokes
cardoon
sweet peas
sweet corn
sweet orange peppers
marjoram
sweet basil
chives
rosemary

Foxy Lady: I know I'm weird,but if you want to grow something beautiful.buy a fresh piece of ginger that had a good greenish bulb.
the ginger is a fantastic flower.
Foxy Lady: ..your post reminded me of a friends cottage I used to go to.it was secluded,way out in the bush on a small lake.
I made friends with a family of chipmunks.they lost their fear of people,we were so nice to them..they used to come visting at the cottage porch & windows for peanuts.
