We had a very destructive late blight, looked like a flame thrower went through the garden (like your flame machine on your blog))))) <br /><br />How lovely to have a greenhouse, a proper one!

Being in the magazine was pretty special...one typo...should have read 150 acres and not 1,500 re our background farm, but otherwise..a great experience and opportunity to share our garden.<br /><br />Still eating the last of the toms..including the teeny weeny Mexico Midgets.

What about attending a Tomato Tasting..any in your area? Good opportunity there to try other varieties.<br /><br />As for the fleece, most good garden centers should carry it, and it comes in a few grades of thickness so you might just ask, letting them know what you want it for. Mine is mid weight I think. The product is called Remay and mine came from Halifax Seed I believe.<br /><br />"Lovely Splendour"..thank you for that, so very much.Gardeningbrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709940044197929905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221106512530304517.post-61160568907981707182012-09-10T23:26:24.628-03:002012-09-10T23:26:24.628-03:00I bought a copy of Garden Making and started to lo...I bought a copy of Garden Making and started to look through it while I dried my hair after my evening bath. I turned to the Table of Contents and started to admire the garden at the top of the page, when it dawned on me that the garden pictured was mighty familiar. Could it really be? I turned to the article and there it was...your garden in all its lovely splendour! Congratulations on the magazine article, Bren!<br />The tomatoes look yummy. I would have loved to be there for the tasting. So far tomatoes seem to be the only veggies I have a knack for growing. Next year I must try to get more adventuresome with my plant choices.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221106512530304517.post-78044936424543283212012-09-07T16:41:57.820-03:002012-09-07T16:41:57.820-03:00Thank you Nancy, what a generous and kind comment....Thank you Nancy, what a generous and kind comment.
