Plant Experiences

A few people have contacted me with their experiences with their plants:

Damien Gilley: 

"mine grew well, the spring and lettuce mixes, and the swiss chard. The heat killed off some due to drying out. But I started making luxurious salads by adding the wild mix to another head I would get at the farmer's market.

Best I can do with a patio with 2 hours of sun!"

Zachary WIlliams:

"I am afraid I am not sure where your seeds ended up....there are some Nesturtiums growing in my yard, but I think they propagated from last year.  However, I would like to claim Victory for my garden, which produced about 10-15 pounds of green beans, plenty of peas, romanesca, chard, corn, cunflowers, basil, peppers....Yeah!!!!"

Patrick Leonard:

"We took some of the Alaska peas and Loma lettuce. Both came up well, though the lettuce quickly wilted and never went to seed. The real success was the peas. We started with three, which all germinated, and now we're drying the peas to start new plants next year. Three became many!"

Melissa Moser's Plants

These are Melissa's plants. She grew peas, onions and peppers. She believes that they are Ace, Lipstick and I think maybe Yellow Bell Pepper. The photos of the peas shows that they came back for round two of growth even after all of the heat of the summer.

These plants look great. She also just used planters on a porch. This just shows what you can grow in a small space. 

Here are a few words of encouragement from Melissa regarding being a first time gardener:

"this is my first garden ever, and i've thoroughly enjoyed my little porch experiment!  thanks for the starts for getting me, well, started." 

Thanks Melissa for sharing these pictures. I love being able to see them all grown up.
