I hope your buckets work out.<br /><br />michelle, yes, the garden has enough of the other kind of surprises. I like this one. Maybe we should organize together. . .<br /><br />Dan, it's one of the best things about gardening, that ongoing fresh start.<br /><br />Ribbit, yws!<br /><br />GrafixMuse, maybe they just love this bed. Or regular water. Or something.<br /><br />Erin, oh no. My above ground thing didn't work at all, so this is really a first harvest. I can hardly wait to see the rest. Do you have room for in-ground stuff?<br /><br />Kristin, I bet the basement. It's the only consistently cool and dark area. It's not perfect, though, and I don't know about getting the humidity up high enough. Why don't you guys dig a root cellar into the hill?Stefaneenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422241601075022500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-84387709658837445862010-07-09T07:16:36.242-07:002010-07-09T07:16:36.242-07:00Uncovered purple treasure, eh?
