I wish they would invent perennial vegetables. Or have they? In Oklahoma asparagas were perennials. karen@somewhatquirkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772267613790523188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283748462955175670.post-57449236360564561562014-05-31T07:44:06.912-05:002014-05-31T07:44:06.912-05:00I completely suck at gardening.

They do well, I add a lot of egg shells & epsom salts which the plant loves.

Decades ago, when I had my first garden as a newly married, I planted 50 tomato plants. Being a "not as smart as I am now" young'un, I thought each plant would yield 1 tomato and I would have at least 50 tomatoes to make sauces and have enough for a few salads. Well, 1 plant yielded FIFTY tomatoes, and the others were pretty prolific also. KMart couldn't stock enough canning jars for me that summer. I gave up farming after that and enjoy eating my neighbor's vegetables now.<br /><br />La Verne@hope&salvagelooking silverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05125924499748198039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283748462955175670.post-50031633196710325832014-05-28T14:04:31.374-05:002014-05-28T14:04:31.374-05:00Lol!
