Nice. Your potato cage is looking really cool! I want to build one of those for next year. For your edible flowers, go into a spiffy grocery or check out a farmers' market stand that sells them sometime - I bet they'll up the plus side on your $$ tally, they are usually pretty pricey! I've seen violas packaged with nasturtiums and maybe a few others, for maybe $5 a tiny pack. SO much cheaper and tastier to grow your own!Karenhttp://greenwalks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-91121171162768463952009-06-23T16:09:25.683-04:002009-06-23T16:09:25.683-04:00Your carrots looks very nice.

I am going to try and leave them all in until after a hard frost this year. I will have to look for 'Sugar Snax' next year for an early picker, any other sweet varieties that you know of?Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743102355360873845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-65119072737178176152009-06-23T12:39:08.367-04:002009-06-23T12:39:08.367-04:00Toni, thanks.

I had one on Saturday and will probably have another one this week or next.<br /><br />Lzyjo, I think the carrots will be fine in cooking, but I might quit eating them fresh if they don't sweeten up with all the rain.<br /><br />Annie's Granny, I loved the photos of my pumpkin. I think I will just have to grow pumpkins that way. They don't grow here, so I'll grow them on the west coast.<br /><br />keewee, you never know what will be the star of the garden until it is all over. I want to have lots of salsa this year so I'm hoping for tomatoes, onions and peppers.<br /><br />June, thanks. I think the plants are suffering a lot. I was reading somewhere I forget where now, that this year in Maine (and I'm thinking Massachusetts too) it is the least sunny June for the last 50 years. I forget which day I saw the sun last. It was last week though. It had come out for just a short time as the sun was setting. I need more sun.<br /><br />islandgardner, I won't plant any brassicas unless they are under a row cover. There are so many brassica pests here, from root maggots to flea beetles to caterpillars. Without the row cover they just don't grow. With the row cover they occasionally have issues.<br /><br />the inadvertent farmer, thanks. They are a very happy flower. I always think that daisies are smiling at me.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-50589998445302557082009-06-22T16:12:34.162-04:002009-06-22T16:12:34.162-04:00Those daisies are lovely...certainly one of the &#...Those daisies are lovely...certainly one of the 'happiest' flowers ever!

Like you, I've been wondering what the native Americans did on a cold year like this. It's awful to see how much the plants are suffering (or maybe I'm projecting my suffering onto the stunted plants).Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04630593290368661236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-3615953683471444262009-06-22T11:56:20.407-04:002009-06-22T11:56:20.407-04:00I am not having much luck with carrots this year, ...I am not having much luck with carrots this year, last year they were great, go figure.Jennifer AKA keeweehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16107693230744190952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-53442673969845142422009-06-22T11:38:24.343-04:002009-06-22T11:38:24.343-04:00I hear you about infrequent blogging!

Plus, I've been busy with garden shed insulating and helping to put up the inside walls and building site cleanup...not particularly interesting blog material! I do think I'll get one in today though...about "Daphne's Pumpkin". The one that is trying to take over the north plot!

I also noted a bitter, overly strong carrot taste, they were okay in carrot cake though. I've had zero luck with my carrots this year, they were all mowed down by rabbits! I'm just a little jealous.Lzyjohttp://wormandflowers.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-29549088891396778492009-06-22T09:39:00.050-04:002009-06-22T09:39:00.050-04:00Hi Daphne!

Greetings from sunny northern Wyoming!<br /><br />Your harvest looks wonderful... your bouquet is just beautiful!!!<br /><br />I'm anxiously waiting for my black-eyed susans and daisies to come up.
