Tamra replied to Heather WOod's discussion 'Trying figure out what kind of plant this is ?'

peach vine was my second guess. Did you plant that? Or maybe a neighbor did, or they are seeds from something you purchased and then composted. I suggest you slice one open and taste it. One small taste will not kill you and I bet you will figure ...

Definitely a Lemon Cucumber! These are so delicious. I juice these and they are so refreshing. I've been growing these since 1970.....yikes! I'm aging myself ;-).

I don't know what it is it starts out looking like a little watermelon green with stripes then turns into the smooth round yellow. It does resemble the lemon cuke and the peach vine ...But it seems the foliage is different. I want to eat them but ...

I'm sorry you won't be here, it would be nice to meet you. Maybe on your next trip to Europe you'll make it here.
I have loved living in France although it is not without it's problems...mainly financial... All my income is from the United Kingdom and therefore in £sterling and with the euro currently so strong I now get a lot less euros for my £. It has been the equivalent of about a 30% salary cut.
However, I now live in a beautiful community just outside a 12th century village with lots of good friends. The village is amazing with lots of buildings still intact from that time If you read my blog, A kitchen Garden in France you will learn a little about them. They have made me very welcome.
Paris is not like the rest of France.. I guess New York is not like rural US either....Here I have friends from Kansas who are made very welcome by the locals.
If you decide to move to Europe and think I can be any help at all, don't hesitate to ask. I'll happily offer what guidance I can.

I can't remember whether you said you were going to make the global meet up in France in September and I'm now starting to pull the event together. Maybe you could let me know
Thanks

Ian

At 12:16pm on April 7, 2009, Kay Robbins said…: Are you having problems with snakes this year? I have so many black or king snakes. I found two living inside my sprinkler system underground control box this morning and have one living under my back deck.

I know they are harmless but i don't like having them around me. I always see a few but never like this spring.

At 6:59am on April 3, 2009, Kay Robbins said…: We are practically neighbors. I live in Jax and have two acres also. But I left one completely wooded. I have always wanted to do wildflowers on top of my drainfield. You message reminded me I really need to look into that.

Hi Salma I am lucky in that my allotment is only a short bicycle ride from my house. Some people in larger cities like London have to travel to theirs in a car. It is interesting to find out from you just how things are in your country. I think as...

How times have changed. There was time when there was no food shortage and agriculture was not a profitable business. The poor farmer was having a hard time. After toiling in the field from dawn to dusk he failed to generate enough money to suppor...

Glenn!British allotment system is quite interesting. It should be initiated here in Pakistan. Is this alloted land close to your home? I mean you have to travel to your home kitchen garden to fetch your vegetables ??
