Our fall crop is in but we are still about 6 weeks away from any harvest so I'm really jealous.

I'll send you some 'Bolero' marigold seeds this winter. I have to buy some more seed. I could not get a saved marigold seed to germinate if my life depended on it!Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09433165045195052022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189983137076734893.post-44613896430337524612012-08-27T13:42:11.738-04:002012-08-27T13:42:11.738-04:00Isn't it odd that your successes this year are...Isn't it odd that your successes this year are my failures! My pepper crop leaves a lot to be desired, and bugs have eaten all of my lettuce. I love those marigolds. I had some that volunteered a couple of years ago that I thought were gorgeous, very similar to those. Unfortunately they didn't volunteer this year, or if they did I inadvertently pulled them out.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189983137076734893.post-74733944251462825842012-08-27T11:55:55.862-04:002012-08-27T11:55:55.862-04:00Thanks Mary, it's so nice to have fresh lettuc...Thanks Mary, it's so nice to have fresh lettuce to go with tomatoes and cucmbers.
