You would laugh your head off at our pitiful one tomato plant! Can you do a tutorial about soil, fertilizer, planting etc? Your vegetables are gorgeous.

But I love the woods, & I wouldn't really want to live anywhere else. :D I hope you love your woods, too.Mari @ Once Upon a Platehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16780341844995085098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630857423783823238.post-34151226024872549512010-10-14T14:38:10.859-07:002010-10-14T14:38:10.859-07:00HI Mari, these pictures are just breathtaking!

I wish so much that we could grow herbs and fruit and vrgetables because we love gardening but we live in the woods and have no sun:(:( It breaks my heart when I see pics like these on what I am missing. Your BOUNY is amazing! I love coming to your blog and seeing all that you have harvested!

Believe me, I would GLADLY share fresh eggs with you and your family at any time. Wish we lived closer (and for more reasons than just eggs!) ;)<br /><br />Hi Country Cook! Oh, please don’t be discouraged about container gardening… honestly my best tomatoes this year came from those plants in whiskey barrels. (My garden is surrounded by tall Douglas Firs, not so good for any plants that need sun.) The plants get a little more sun and warmer roots when planted above the raised beds, in containers. And so much easier to maintain!<br /> <br />Hello Yvonne, my friend. You are soo kind… you make me blush. I adore your Tablescape this week (but that’s not unusual. I absolutely love every one you have ever shared with us. It's always a treat to visit your blog. :)<br /><br />Hi Jessica, I was surprised too about the green eggs. (Shocked is more like it… lol!) When she began laying I was a bit apprehensive about cracking those green eggs open. Eeek! But they are like any other chicken egg once cracked. (Thank goodness.)<br /><br />Merhaba Fuat, Bu yüzden burada görmek çok güzel! İyi günler. <br /><br />Hi Mary! Your sweet words warm my heart. It’s always so good to hear from you, my friend. ((hugs))<br /><br />Retta, I am so sorry to hear you had been ill. I haven’t been very good about keeping up with my blogging friends during the busy summer ~ but I’ll hop on by to catch up with your blog. When the rainy weather arrives I’ll be indoors and will have more time for blog-hopping. You take good care, sweetie. xo<br />Carol, Wow... thank you SO much! ((hugs))<br /><br />Linda-girl... Roasting is my favorite way to do beets, too. I used to steam them (rather than boiling), but haven’t done that in years, either. Hope you’re having a wonderful time now that Mike is home. Enjoy every minute.<br /><br />Christine, thank you so much for stopping by... you are ONE busy lady, I know. How you do all that you do, I do not know (but I'm glad that you do because I love your blog.)<br /><br />Elizabeth, You’re so sweet. I’ll try to get the post about the chickens up soon (tons of pictures to sort through...) <br /><br />Hey Neophyte Cruiser (aka: my brother!) Happy Birthday!! A <i>few</i> years ago today you and Mom were having your own private party ~ followed by great celebration of family and friends afterwards, I’m sure. Love and hugs... Enjoy your special day!<br /><br />Thank you again, everyone for your most welcome comments. xo ~mMari @ Once Upon a Platehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16780341844995085098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630857423783823238.post-79740543524950483722010-10-14T09:37:16.158-07:002010-10-14T09:37:16.158-07:00Hey Mari,
