December colors
Sunday, December 2nd, 2007
Some of the veggies have grown exceptionally well during December, and not so much during the summer this year, like this pepper. Gardening in the south is a whole other experience compared to the North – positive because of extended growing seasons, but negative because I haven’t been successful at growing a number of things here - so far anyway, like cucumbers, tomatoes and potatoes. It’s not the soil, because that has been built up – could be it gets too hot too fast, but I try new tactics every year, like potting vegetables instead of growing them in the ground. The neighborhood rabbits also munch away at certain things, like sweet potatoes and a number of flowering annuals.
