Beverly put in sweets this year. They were in 4 20 foot rows. One row on each side of two raised beds she had me make. They plants grew like weeds and covered the whole area and the area around them. Man she dug a few today and they were not regulation footballs, but bigger than childs footballs. We had tomatoe sandwiches again for lunch today. Just thick slices of tomatoe on white bread with a little mayo. This years sweet pickles and fresh apple sauce from a neighbors tree. Who says you can't eat good in the big apple.

I guess I am going to have to change history a little. For as long as I can remember, as we sat down to the table, someone would invariably say,
" eat your heart out New Yorkers". Looks like you are eating some of our kind of stuff up there though. Sounds good.

Merlin in that 30x50 patch Bev has a lot of stuff. Onions. Tomatoes (5varities), Peppers (2varieties), Garlic, Egg Plant, Yellow squash, Green beans, Carrots, Zuchuini, Cukecumbers, Snow peas, Pumpkins, Lettuce (4varities)and a great Asperagras patch. I get to turn it over every spring. I generally turn in 30 to 60 bags of leaves every year and the weeds are kept doam by mulch of grass clippings from 5 of my neighbors. Bev has had a garden since she was a kid. She started with her father. I have had a garden since the WWII Victory garden in my parents back yard. The year we were living in Panama City Fl while my father worked at Tyndall field relatives kept our garden up.
