In reply to Emily Dixon. Hi Emily, My mom is in a similar situation, so I will definitely round up some ideas. Did you see the post on patio tomatoes? Have a great day! Hugs,Lynn

In reply to cat.

Hi Cat,

I’m just a little excited about them! They were back ordered for over a month and once we were notified that they were in the mail, we tracked them multiple times a day! I guess you know you are a gardener when you get excited about your garden beds. And it was fun to age them.

Thanks for the update on the Fig Crackers with a chia egg! So, the next time you make it, you’ll just try two chia eggs?!That’s good to know. If you do try it, I’d love for you to let me know so I can share that with others who need to avoid eggs. And that chile fig paste sounds incredible!

What zone are you? We are 8b.

Thanks for sharing your excitement with me! I don’t have many friends who would be as excited as I am!

Hugs, Lynn

I’m so excited for you to have Corten steel anything! I *really* wish to have Corten garden borders…. I bet your raised beds are gorgeous! Surely once things get to be full size, the vision will be realized. 🙂 Hard to believe the difference in growing zone “seasons.” We’re supposed to wait until mid-May for WNC. Eager to get the chill out of the house! [Did I tell you already that I made the rosemary fig crackers using chia eggs? It might have been better with just 2 chia eggs, but still tasty. I found some Chile Fig Paste and we are still enjoying them with that.)
