Hello, Sunflower. I hope you'll plant some garlic this fall (2008). Believe me, what you get next year will be worth the wait, so long as you have good seed to start with and you care for your crop. You will never buy garlic again.

Nice of you to ask - yes, I have a veg. & flower garden. I grow the usual. I especially like chinese greens like Gai Lan (also spelled Kailan by some) and Russian Red Kale. It seems to be less attractive to insects than the Lacinato kale that is all the rage in some quarters. Also, I save what seed I can from year to year. Also, unlike many people, I do not buy already-growing storage or Spanish onion at the nursery. I start from seed. Also, I am starting a bit of broccoli & cauli in the house, like all nutty gardeners. Any other gardeners here?

How about you, what growing do you do? Be sure to reply. I love to hear about others' gardens!
