		<description><![CDATA[As I write this, it is hot!  My garden is, well, out there, and I am in here and that is fine with me.  Up north here we are not used to this kind of heat and it shuts me down.  I was up early this morning picking black raspberries for breakfast and came into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First, the tulips and daffodils bloomed and I battled weeds in early spring.  Now my perennials are doing what I feared they would not.  Gaining ground with amazing growth, they are taking over any bare soil and filling in beyond my expectations.  I always stick that new perennial a little too close to its more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My husband and I have the understanding that the vegetable garden comes first, flowers second.  We are trying to grow the majority of our food.  With a busy family life this order has to be.  The first shovel of compost, manure and mulch straw gets dumped in the vegetable beds, as well as our time.

		<description><![CDATA[I am on vacation and missing my garden desperately.  Is it growing slow and steady or fast and furious? (Information has trickled in that cool weather would favor slow and steady.)  Are the weeds and cucumber beetles overtaking my cukes and small delicate melons?  Or are their tendril like arms stretching and overcoming their aggressors?  [...]]]></description>

Our salad material is ever producing from shades of maroon to lime green. The tomatoes are crying for warmth. Something is eating my bush beans just as they poke their little [...]]]></description>

The potatoes are so vigorous the few potato beetles I spot are inarguably losing the battle. My eggplants are gorgeous specimens and the rainbow chard is just beautiful. Oh, and the [...]]]></description>

Having recently bought this home adorned with three separate 2&#8242; x 12&#8242; asparagus beds, I am having my first experience with growing asparagus. I couldn’t wait for our first crop. I checked the [...]]]></description>
