You've got a very successful garden! And isn't it a wonderful secure feeling knowing you've got the stuff stashed away for enjoyment later on?

Woo Hoo Kim sounds wonderful, due to some major remodeling projects and hubby traveling with his job we decided not to do a garden this year which I will miss. Tell me is snap peas hard to grow I'd like to plant some next season. Enjoy the harvest of your garden.

Kim,
Why has it taken me so long to figure out you are also on HG. Dah, I am so slow sometimes!

Anyway congrats on the great harvest, sounds like the makings of a fine salad to me.

niceday - This is my first attempt at gardening (well, I actually started last year and the hurricanes wiped everything out). I did try sugar snap peas last year and they did not do well. I planted them according to the info on the seed packet. I think that was my mistake. I did them this time in accordance with a book from the library that gave specific planting info for my area and they did fabulous - very easy!
