Too much rain will definitely make the plants rot, our tomatoes were horrible this year. Peppers generally do well as do bean, particularly broad beans.. Some years potatoes do well, but not this year. Never have any luck with onions. My strawberries do well, but usually someone or something gets to them before I do.<br />Can't even talk about France, sometimes it feels like the whole world has gone mad, this isn't the world I grew up in.Mac n' Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732924562630675589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-27578275014885524502015-11-19T03:08:37.650-08:002015-11-19T03:08:37.650-08:00It is fun to read about your garden works.

Times are very troubled here in Europe at the moment. it is all so close, Belgium, France, countries we cross frequently, I can't get it out of my mind all those fears. biebkriebelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01539958495933835606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-29582412444867683012015-11-18T23:58:48.226-08:002015-11-18T23:58:48.226-08:00Good for you persevering with your garden, the Mor...Good for you persevering with your garden, the Morning Glory is indeed glorious.

Keep at it, you will learn what not to do. <br /><br />Good saying there :)<br />Margaret Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074619859060647600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-2516129411131379472015-11-18T20:22:51.327-08:002015-11-18T20:22:51.327-08:00Events of the last week have been very sad.

I'm very saddened by the attacks on France. As my Prime Minister said, they are our French cousins. We must try to go on living and loving though, otherwise the terrorists win.

All from various parts of Germany.<br />What "vegetables" or "herbs" are Chard and Kale????<br /><br />I know how you loved your visits to Paris and France - this would impact on<br />you more than most - terrible atrocities.<br /><br />Cheers<br />Colin<br />PS; My dinner suit doesn't fit nor does the shirt. I gave them away today.<br />I guess a dark suit, white shirt and bow tie will have to suffice. <br />Hopefully I wont' be the only one man out??? I am certainly NOT hiring<br />a suit which can't be returned for 2 weeks ! The cost would be astronomical.Huggybearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517411617275367396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-85187820120838137682015-11-18T17:43:07.320-08:002015-11-18T17:43:07.320-08:00That garden cage looks mighty useful, I'd like...That garden cage looks mighty useful, I'd like a few of them - not for deer, but possums and birds.
