Being in NE OK, you probably are not too far away from us as we live in West Central MO. This year we just planted it right in the tubs with the tomatoes. That works so well, very minimal weeding and you don't have to stand on your head to do it! Thanks for reading my blog!<BR/><BR/>Jan in UK: Do you get enough sun to plant some things in containers? You can do quite a few things that way. <BR/><BR/>Angie: When we lived out in the country, we had asparagus and I have been trying to convince Mom and Dad to plant the garden spot in asparagus. Maybe someday!<BR/><BR/>Nic: The dressing is indeed sweet and sour. I think originally this was a German dish?<BR/><BR/>Marie: We live in town, but still have to watch, the moles and squirrels will eat a lot of things, also we have trouble with turtles eating our tomatoes, thus the pots!Raquelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05926021350441597268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1245263708699503776.post-7144010533321026522008-05-24T06:33:00.000-05:002008-05-24T06:33:00.000-05:00One of my favourite homegrown things is asparagus ...One of my favourite homegrown things is asparagus but as we only have one crown and the spears appear in 2's or 3's we have to save them up in the fridge until there's enough. One of these days we'll find somewhere for some more crowns. This year Keith has planted abut 6 different varieties of potato but my real favourite is Maris Piper. I love stubby little Chantenay carrots too. Maybe I'll do a blog entry and Keith can be star of the show.<BR/>love, Angie, xxAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10015569343069499036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1245263708699503776.post-72188646518126691612008-05-24T02:22:00.000-05:002008-05-24T02:22:00.000-05:00Homegrown is best!

We live in NE Oklahoma, and we always seem to plant it too early, or too late.<BR/><BR/>I love all our homegrown veggies, but especially the tomatoes. We've been growing heirloom varieties for the past two years, and they are sublime.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12602837899220828404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1245263708699503776.post-67334514082074669132008-05-23T14:51:00.000-05:002008-05-23T14:51:00.000-05:00Interesting dressing Raquel, like a sweet and sour...Interesting dressing Raquel, like a sweet and sour sauce!
