  1. What a cute lil girl in that photo...nice update! You're sure growing a lot of stuff. I've never gotten used to okra. Your beans sound really cool...exotic names I never heard of! Can you tell me about lemon balm? What do you use it for?

  2. I never like okra until last summer. Then I had it 2 ways: 1)sauted with tomatoes and basil and 2)seasoned with olive oil, salt, pepper and grilled on the fire - oh, yum!

    You could add lemon balm to tea or stuff it with celery and onion into a chicken cavity before roasting; however, I just got it because I liked the smell :)

  3. I need so many ideas for our garden - I don;t think we are going to have time to build one now. MOst people are telling us it is too late. What do you think?

  4. Pres. Kathy,

    I don't think it's too late. It would be too late to start from seeds, but you could buy seedlings and be fine. Also, you could plan a Fall Garden now: http://www.motherearthnews.com/Organic-Gardening/Fall-Gardening-Best-Fall-Garden.aspx
