Everything in it grew— lettuce, onions, peppers, beans, cucumbers, and best of all, tomatoes! Dad’s tomatoes were just super and they were that way year after year. My brother, Dick, probably listening to the ag teacher at school, heard about crop rotation and realizing that Dad’s tomatoes were always planted in the same spot year after year told him he should plant them in another part of the garden. Next year Dad did and it was the only year he had a failed crop of tomatoes. The following year they were planted in the old spot and as you might expect they came up as luscious as usual!Jack (Dad)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412556112231214747.post-43649631268184602772012-05-29T14:14:42.708-04:002012-05-29T14:14:42.708-04:00Arnon Taylor - some might remember had bees.

As with all other creatures - somehow they all came to him and he never got stung.<br /><br />We also grew up with a HUGE garden - and I remember weeding and it seemed like you would just get done and it was time to start over - when it was time to freeze or can - I would try to go visit my Sharkey cousins in Utica and not come back until it was done. I'm sure they NEVER figured that one out.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17044743598134994700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412556112231214747.post-60215321357011193722012-05-27T15:10:24.688-04:002012-05-27T15:10:24.688-04:00I agree with the WOW, what wonderful stories to re...I agree with the WOW, what wonderful stories to read. Love me some fresh veges, grew up with a garden...tried to grow in Seattle, did much better with flowers than veges. Now in Florida, I grow orchids and aloe vera!! Have not tried veges YET. I will, but thank God for a close farmers market. Love the Amish people!Judynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412556112231214747.post-83046501278537973162012-05-25T09:45:59.774-04:002012-05-25T09:45:59.774-04:00Sue, you did a really great job at the compilation...Sue, you did a really great job at the compilation of all of our stories and I enjoyed it very much!

Wonderful stories--thank you to all!<br /><br />The green thumb that so many of you have did NOT pass on to me, but we just planted a blueberry bush this evening, right next to my beloved lilacs, so I am hoping that it survives.<br /><br />Keep sending gardening thoughts my way--and so wonderful to read about all of you and your gardens!<br /><br />Thanks, Sue,<br /><br />Love,Patnoreply@blogger.com
