So cool! I wish I were good with things like that. I have to buy my veggies and fruits at the grocery store. :-(

I hate the bugs in the south! They are stubborn and way too plentiful. We have those whiteflies too ggrrr I had banana trees at my last home. They multiplied every year. With your green thumb, be looking for more next time around.

Oh My, how your garden does grow. Looks beautiful and puts my to all kinds of shame and embarrasment! LOL... Had a fun visit to your page My New 30 and thought I'd mention that I too have a general interest blog. Would you like to see it? It's at www.spitnglue.com. I so hope you visit, hardly anyone does because I spend all my time with a sandwich. More Later, Thanks, Keri

Wow! Great garden! I have some tomatoe plants out on my deck. Unfortunately they did not do well this season. I think it was a little too cool and wet for them this year.

I had to "borrow" tomatoes from my dad's garden for a few batches of soup this year--the darn hornworms got mine:(

If you have enough green tomatoes you can make and freeze salsa verde or make pickle relish or make fried green tomatoes.

How fun that you get to grow things like banana's!...

2009-09-16T21:58:15.209-05:00

How fun that you get to grow things like banana's! I am so envious!

All your other veggies we grow here but not banana's!

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

I love your message - we are moving to house with room for a garden soon (I hope!). I hope I can do 10% as well as you - how amazing!

you have no idea how much I wish I could get my banana tree to bloom and make some fruit! Mine are not edible...but still...I started the seeds a few months back, the tree is about three feet tall now, and I am waiting. I have to keep them inside, as it is too cold here for them to be outside...I am sorry your tree fell...great post today! your garden looks great!

I am so jealous that you have a banana tree! Well...

2009-09-16T12:20:14.455-05:00

I am so jealous that you have a banana tree! Well, actually the jealousy stems from the fact you have a garden and a green thumb. Next year (I keep telling myself). All your veggies look divine! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I hope to hear from you again, and I hope that I can learn some gardening tips from you. :)

Aww! That is so sad! But, like you said, at least it had babies before it keeled over. :)
Loved all your garden pictures and stories. I grew up picking okra from my parents garden. I remember getting my fingers pricked many times. OUCH! But, I love it fried.

For some reason, I'm now hungry for fried okra! ;D...

Loved the garden stories! I live in north Louisiana and I have a banana tree too, but I usually don't get bananas. I'm going to check today when it is light outside! I have okra too. Love it! It's not doing as well now because the nights are not as hot. They love super hot weather.

Oh LOL Penniwig! I know it's an odd looking plant, but what the heck did they think it was??? That is sooo funny!

We had a whole "grove" of banana trees in old N.O. Watch out, the juice turns brown and stains! They would die to the ground each year but come back more the next spring.

Once had a new Yankee neighbor call the police on my mother's garden. Fools saw OKRA and thought it was an ILLICIT DRUG-PRODUCING PLANT. Okra is mighty tasty but it isn't ILLEGAL. The police almost
