I was checking out a friend's grow your own efforts yesterday and she not only explained to me that potatoes do grow seeds and leaves (who knew?)I also went away with a "starter pack" from her. A little late in the season but that's better than never. Fine post.

We're blessed by our location; we get a fair bit of sun, relatively speaking. Lee: Thanks! Liz: Have you tried bird netting (http://tinyurl.com/oylk82)?

I also cultivate a postage-sized patch of garden in Brooklyn, and am currently in a battle of wits against my neighborhood squirrels, who have stealthily picked off every single last strawberry in the dead of night the very moment it has gotten perfectly ripe. The score currently stands at squirrels 12: Liz 0. I'd highly recommend the book "The $64 Tomato" - it's a hilarious chronicle of a garden battle that sounds similar to your own. I love this post.

Instead, we come home to two drunk dogs on the lawn. This brings a whole new meaning to dealing with "critters", both wild and domestic. Your radishes, peas and inspiring garden are wonderful!

Glad to get an update. Every one of my tomatoes got early blight after it set fruit. Fortunately, the plants decided it was okay to ripen the fruit in spite of the embarrassingly ugly leaves and stalks. I have no idea what caused it. Congrats on the garden sucess! You liking the Kentucky Pole Beans? I was contemplating them for our Fall garden. “Those little prehistoric-looking summbitches loves them some suds, but they sure can’t swim a lick.”

My kids will eat stuff straight out of the garden that they won't touch otherwise and they love to harvest on their own. My attitude toward my garden is if it grows, great! If not, seeds are cheap and we can try something else. Have fun with it! It’s so good to see someone else giving a garden a whirl in a very small space!
