I've had so much of it fail. These were new plantings from the nursery this year. Around here they love the sun since it's a cooler climate. It's one of my favorites and I'm hoping it comes back stronger next year! I put it in a spot we had tilled but the soil has a lot of clay so it tends to hold moisture well.

It has reached about 5 inches and refuses to grow anymore. I do not know if it is the heat or what! Any tips you can give me would be greatly appreciated!

The only reason there is anything from the garden is that this is yet another project where I enthusiastically got the husband all on board and then he did most of the work. I then fizzled out but still get all the benefits. It works well for us ;)Mary @ Better Than Edenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409924891343767874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-74653389823093879552012-09-05T13:08:37.837-04:002012-09-05T13:08:37.837-04:00What great food you grew!

I made some pesto today - I wish you had this post up 5 hours earlier, I would have totally used my popsicle molds to freeze it.<br />Our corn was a total flop - really short and then it just stopped growing.

Just a thought.<br />The corn by us is terribly short and I heard that many farmers turned theirs under. So sad.<br />I don't think you have ogre hands and bremember you were honest and told us it was your hand - we could have thought it was any of the other family members.<br />So glad you didn't feed them the pesto by passing them off as a gormet flavor popsicle.<br />Luke the Potato Snatcher!<br />Happy produce!L's momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05926894595572254481noreply@blogger.com
