| Our First Box Has Many Herbs |

| Our Second Box Basil, Cabbage,Collards |
The soil was so rich and the Collards grew so fast
that the worms began to eat them..we had to hurry up
and do something. So I cleaned picked them and we had three
good meals of them in one pot, I made up my own insect repellent to kill the worms! and so far so good.
UPDATE: no wonder the worms tried to eat them up from us! They were simply delicious, so soft and tender and with a hint of country ham and some cornbread with Jalapeno's ..yum what more could you ask for, but more :o)

Well, Ginny, I'm sorry the first box didn't do as well as you hoped, but it sounds like the second one made up for it a bit! Sounds delicious! :D
Nothing like good home raised veggies. I need to make some of those raised beds. I used to 'garden' in some of those, but Jeep doesn't 'do' gardening so I may just keep buying them at the store!!!
Ginny, my hubby's dad mixes up a solution of a little dish soap and lots of water and sprays his greens. The bugs hate it and so do the rabbits. Just wash real good after you pick them.
Mama-bug, I use that recipe too, only add some Jalapeno peppers to it...it seems to be working now.
Dorothy, Jeep sounds like Cecil not wanting to make the boxes until I threatened him "I'll do it myself" (that takes away from his manhood :o) so he does it :o)...That's one of the tricks out of my special bag!
Daisy, the second box really worked for us..The Collards gave me six or seven full quart jars. Ginny
I love that your harvest season lasts such a long time. (Maybe it depends on what you plant?) Good going, Miss Ginny and Mr. Cecil!
Ladydi, I'm learning that planting greens in the fall is really the best time (so I've been told) that you don't have to fight the worms all spring into summer. Well, I don't feel that's really true, because the worms ate the heck out of my collards and forced me to pick them before they were completely gone..At least I got 6 or 7
quarts of them for the first good picking.. If they are still available we are going to purchase more plants and do them again...won't be a waste ...all my kids and neighbors love them....Ginny
