I think they release early though, like in August.<br /><br />That would be GREAT if she decided on California.

So happy to meet another gal who likes getting her hands dirty. Just something about the feel of that dirt. Boy do I love it. If your garden is chaos, I'd say it's pretty darn good chaos. Everything looks lovely. My hubby says the same thing about Artichokes. However, when I dig out the heart he's always ready for a bite. Happy to meet you.

In south Florida, it is time to wind down and only have hot weather crops planted. Which means that my cucumbers and squash which were planted too late in the cool season, are undergoing attack by powdery mildew and pickleworms. I've sprayed with my special Neem Oil spray concoction (quart of water, 1/4 tsp. Neem oil, 1/4 tsp. Coconut Oil) although I think I got to it all a little too late. All part of the Education! Better luck next time, although the squash and cucumbers that were harvested beforehand were pure delight on the tongue.<br /><br />Happy Gardening, PriscillaPriscilla Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14252264025070984092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-931177870178743722012-05-18T17:54:58.787-07:002012-05-18T17:54:58.787-07:00I feel much the same.
