Nothing to freeze. I might stick another plant in the ground and grow some more. Is there such a thing as too much pesto? Ha. <br /><br />Ice tea breaks often. My favorite drink of refreshment out there. 1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-67505221789716603132017-03-21T23:31:23.798-05:002017-03-21T23:31:23.798-05:00Thank you for the thoughts, we'll see how it g...Thank you for the thoughts, we'll see how it goes!

I bought some large red coated tomato cages at the local big box store (they had red, yellow, blue and green) and we liked the look so much, I found some more specialized ones for different plants that were the same red vinyl coated. They fold up for Winter so they've been great so far. And it's nice to have the color and fun to have them match. <br /><br />Hope you get to play in the dirt!!1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-77112911846819584442017-03-21T23:22:14.798-05:002017-03-21T23:22:14.798-05:00That's the plan, we hope, ha.That's the plan, we hope, ha. 1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-7178484290806810162017-03-21T23:22:01.332-05:002017-03-21T23:22:01.332-05:00Hey, it's never too late, maybe some herbs in ...Hey, it's never too late, maybe some herbs in a container? 1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-30609725526006839982017-03-21T06:37:51.039-05:002017-03-21T06:37:51.039-05:00WEEEE!!!!!!

It will grow really fast with all this sunshine and warmth. <br />I usually wait until the end of March to plant my okra because it likes warm soil - well, since Spring came early this year, I planted my okra along with the rest of my vegetables and herbs. I’ll do a second planting of green beans and squash in about a week, to stagger the production. <br />Texas Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547037404676565726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-36884144808819517792017-03-20T22:46:51.541-05:002017-03-20T22:46:51.541-05:00Looking great!

I tend to plant too much but my daughter in law is a chef who loves taking all the extras. Keep up the hard work!

Cucumbers sound perfect for the last bed, then I'd tuck in marigolds and nasturtiums to draw in the pollinators, drive off the predatory bugs and add wonderful flowers.
