I also like to buy from local farmers at their produce stands.   This family is probably unique in that my husband hunts and we do from time to time enjoy wild game.  But if we ever have to become dependent on my ability to grow food we are so screwed.  My little garden only produced 5 tomatoes.  Other plants flowered and I attempted to use cotton swabs to pollinate them due to a lack of bees but no luck.   Maybe next year I can set up a better bed for growing and give my victory garden another shot.

Yeah, our tomatoes got infested with some bug or another and had to be scrapped.  But I've heard it's a good time of year to be planting broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, etc.-- if you're still having warm weather, that is.

My tomatoes were infested too, but by chipmunks. I think I was only able to pull 4-5 clusters of ripe grape tomatoes, and one heirloom. The rest were nabbed by fat little rodents as soon as they started to turn from green to orange. Never even made it all the way to red.

It is the perfect time to start the cabbage family of plants in the southern half of the country. Not only will they be delicious, they also look quite nice surrounded by pansies and mums, as part of a pretty fall flower bed.

chipmunks are like the plague this year, some of the old folks say they've never been this over-populated...

chipmunk stew anyone?
