However, with the economy the way it is, there is no guarantee it will sell. We're getting a bit weary of traveling back and forth, and when two properties are vacant for 6 months of the year there are always things to worry about. If it doesn't sell, I will be back next winter, and I will have a little garden. I'm not expecting huge carrots from it though ;-)Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-52829967220526671612009-03-05T05:03:00.000-08:002009-03-05T05:03:00.000-08:00"If I garden here again"?

I've taken fresh grocery store produce through with no problem, but they might be more restrictive with live plants. I really think they are concerned with those that are fruit fly carriers, but who knows. I actually had a bag of fresh lemons confiscated at LAX once, and I was leaving California and flying to Washington! Not much chance I was going to infect lemon trees in WA...I think the inspector just wanted a fresh lemon pie :-(Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-14705841075481170282009-03-04T19:32:00.000-08:002009-03-04T19:32:00.000-08:00I wonder if radishes are daylight sensitive like o...I wonder if radishes are daylight sensitive like onions, that would explain why they didn't bulb well.<BR/><BR/>I was kidding, I didn't think they could actually get confiscated, that would really suck.

But you just wait, my little toms will catch up soon.<BR/><BR/>Dan, I think it's all in the timing and the soil...and both were kinda bad this year. I expected things to grow better in containers than they did, and once I found they wouldn't it was too late to get them off to a good start in the ground. What surprised me the most were the radishes...21 days to maturity? Not here! I pulled mine after 48 days (the ones the rabbit didn't eat) and most hadn't yet developed true leaves, and only two had any sign of a small bulbous root!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-5506751872286991252009-03-04T15:41:00.000-08:002009-03-04T15:41:00.000-08:00Even if the harvest was a little light at least yo...Even if the harvest was a little light at least you gained the knowledge to know what grows best for next season.
