This year we didn't get a single cucumber. Generally I have them piled in hills on my counters and am seeking people to give them to. The zucchini, which I have called a noxious weed because of it's rampant production, yielded only half a dozen gourds. But the sweet banana peppers went absolutely wild. From four plants, we gave them away by the buckets full.Judith Roblhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09896616623573839165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-33831711828957567372011-09-14T03:38:51.840-07:002011-09-14T03:38:51.840-07:00Congrats on the First price.

Another fruit that is often overlooked but grows in plenty.Alice Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218095053108888830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-20270743443184092672011-09-13T01:04:26.650-07:002011-09-13T01:04:26.650-07:00Alice, we didn't have much of a summer last su...Alice, we didn't have much of a summer last summer here in South Australia, got very few tomatoes but had a bumper crop of apricots, my nectarine tree had no fruit. <br />We use to have blackcurrents growing wild where we use to live and I remember they were a weed and had really sharp thorns.<br /><br />I do feel for you as I know we went from a cold went winter, to no spring and not much summer and I know how it made me feel.Ausjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644698706787568679noreply@blogger.com
