My grandma used to grow her own veggies. And she canned/jarred everything too. MMMM, her bread&butter pickles were delicious.

Makes me wish for a veggie garden... but with 2 dogs in the back yard, I can't put it there. And our neighborhood is the kind where kids would take half-grown veggies and throw them at houses/cars/each other if given half a chance.

Well good grief. Why do kids have to be like that!?!

The problem we've always had was rabbits. Little boogers can squeeze through fences and dig under them! So to fix the problem we put this ugly net wrap around the fence. So instead of a beautiful garden for people to look at, it made it look like we had construction going on. We were actually sent a letter from the town saying that if we were building or digging we had to have a permit. *laughs*

LOL, a permit for a vegetable garden. That's just too funny... I'm gonna try to remember how my grandma used to get rid of the rabbits... It will probably take me awhile though.

I tried to grow zucchini, green beans, and tomatoes (plus herbs) this summer, but forgot to get anyone to water them while we were on vacation, and everything was dead by the time we got back. I did have one small "crop" of green beans in June, though. Enough for one meal. But i never got past the flower stage on the zucchini and have NO idea what happened to the tomatoes.
