Flower Report

If you recall, we gave square foot gardening a try this summer.  The edible plantings did less than spectacularly.  The squares are wildly overgrown, yet I have only gotten a couple of cherry tomatoes and neither of them was worth eating.  The radishes were way too pungent and spicy and the bell peppers got attacked before I was able to harvest any.  I did get a ton of basil, regular and purple, and I've frozen two gallon bags worth.  Penguin Girl's flowers have done better.  Despite having to re-plant three times because of critters eating the seeds, we now have a few pretty sunflowers.  Her wildflowers also came up.  The morning glory looks like it still needs a little time to get more viney and flowery.
