I very rarely post a comment, maybe 3-4 over the past few years so maybe I should do more. Just want to say how lovely your posts are and how much I appreciate them. Easily the best I see.

I'm a sucker for any garden related tour but with yours I always come away with a few interesting tidbits, either when it comes to culture, variety or a different plant altogether - Buck's Horn plantain? Can't wait to see how you use that & what you think of it. I'll also be interested to see what you think of the two varieties of Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-80638678312032623242016-05-15T11:31:26.060-07:002016-05-15T11:31:26.060-07:00The garden is looking great.

And it is great to see cabbages and greens without all the slug damage mine has! I am surprised that aphids aren't a big problem under the covered crops. They quickly get out of control for me when I use row covers, at least in fall and winter.Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-71574373471694846322016-05-12T07:39:46.755-07:002016-05-12T07:39:46.755-07:00I did work on the post off and on over a few days....I did work on the post off and on over a few days...<br /><br />I have seen fog "harvesting" setups also, it's an intriguing idea and it comes to mind every time I find all the mesh covers in my garden soaking wet after a foggy night.

I don't know if that was weather or what, but if all the flowers set the plants would end up looking like pine cones!<br /><br />Don't worry, I won't give up on blogging, but I do find Instagram to be a nice compliment to blogs.

It's good that you show us both good and bad aspects - very helpful. I was particularly interested to read more about your Robin Hood beans. My plants are flowering now, and if all the flowers set I will get a big harvest from them, even though the plants are very short.

It must have taken hours to write. I have yet to figure out Instagram, but now I have incentive. My vegetables aren't looking so good this year. No pep.
