And when plants die don't think of it as failure, you were just learning what <I>not</I> to do next time ;-]<BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4470126441925344618.post-61665388763853383932008-03-06T16:02:00.000-05:002008-03-06T16:02:00.000-05:00This post resonated well with me, since I'm a new ...This post resonated well with me, since I'm a new mother with a 7-month old son, and not enough naptimes to do everything I want to in the garden. Thanks for the reminder that it's ok to not be able to do it all at once.<BR/><BR/>Thanks also for posting the veggie planting guide--we're going to attempt our first summer veggie garden this year. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4470126441925344618.post-71601464835597375462008-03-05T09:57:00.000-05:002008-03-05T09:57:00.000-05:00Hi- As moms we sure try to be everything to everyo...Hi- As moms we sure try to be everything to everyone and keep up with our passion to garden. But 'first things first' and it all works out like it should.<BR/><BR/>The garden is still here but the children are all grown and married. Now I spend more time in the garden. I'm so thankful the kids all like to come home once in a while - I like to think it is because we took care of them better than the garden back in the day.<BR/><BR/>I too am starting my very first vegetable garden this year. Your list is a wonderful guideline although I think the timing rules are a little different in my Florida garden. I'm seeking out all the information I can gather at this point. Thanks for this post.<BR/><BR/>Meems @HoeandShovel.blogspotMeemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4470126441925344618.post-23312256888012438782008-03-04T05:28:00.000-05:002008-03-04T05:28:00.000-05:00That is a great list.
