Joy, thanks for the video post. It was fun to see it again. hat garden is going strong. The parents and teachers are more involved. The school lost some of its grant funding so they are working extra hard to find help.

I got my seed from Seed Savers Exchange, but it's been so long since I ordered them, I forgot that they start out cream-colored. Now I can't wait to see the color show!

Hi Alsion, I've never grown Alma peppers before; this is my first year with them, too. Since I'm in zone 6a, my pepper plants are still pretty small- and we've had a long cool spring here, to boot. Guess we'll both have to support each other with these new little vegetables. This is how little I know about Almas so far-- I didn't even know they will be white!

OK, I'm officially jealous. We do OK for vegetable variety in season, but your array of fruits astounds me.

Red osier dogwood is just the best plant for this time of year – cut down some branches – you can find them in fields and ditches and then place them in garden pots or containers. Fill the over-season containers with soil to hold the stems. Attach...

HOW TO - ADD A LINK

Several people have experienced difficulty putting working links into comments and blogs etc and I know it is clumsy.... so here is how you do it.....

First type the text you want to appear....  ie  IAN'S PAGE

Then go back and highlight the link text.

Then hit the hyperlink button...a pictogram of a chain link.

Your browser may intervene and request permission to allow temporary scripting or some similar message.   Allow it and go back and highlight the text again
