There are some who don't realise you can buy the dry popping corn without it being overpackaged with some nuclear butter!!jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17322709527738134797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14131376.post-78115383883089592882009-08-10T14:40:47.896+10:002009-08-10T14:40:47.896+10:00I hope you have as much success with your vegie ga...I hope you have as much success with your vegie garden as we have had. Our daughter (18moths) absolutely loves checking the vegies for snail and slugs and picking the goods when they are ready. She knows the difference now between a red and a green tomato and which should actually leave the vine!<br /><br />Happy gardening,<br />ChristieChristie - Childhood 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/03273633554293833746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14131376.post-87963778005869590322009-08-08T11:21:07.023+10:002009-08-08T11:21:07.023+10:00hmmm I'm all confused?

This confirms what I suspected - that I know absolutely nothing about gardens... I am excited about learning more as I embark on growing vegies in the coming months though. :-)Roseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958506104275372845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14131376.post-58013267589863724572009-08-08T08:21:28.202+10:002009-08-08T08:21:28.202+10:00You will love the colourful popcorn.

Am looking at the Eden Seeds catalogue and as usual I can't decide which one to get!<br /><br />My kids LOVE the vegie garden... the joy of eating something straight off the plant is fabulous!<br /><br />Make sure you blog some photos!katepicklehttp://www.picklebums.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14131376.post-70927895911560503462009-08-06T22:42:39.851+10:002009-08-06T22:42:39.851+10:00At our place we grow our own strawberries, tomatoe...At our place we grow our own strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, apples, nectarines, apricots and peaches without too much intervention... That is we don't seem to kill them with neglect, or too much attention :)<br /><br />Apart from tomatoes (which we give away) and herbs, we do need to supplement our produce with grocery store supplies!<br /><br />We have tried quite a few other vegies with varying degrees of success - too much shade at our place.<br /><br />Good LuckMissyBoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15718948252357141272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14131376.post-56546265445882983262009-08-06T21:28:49.268+10:002009-08-06T21:28:49.268+10:00Good luck with your garden.
