I still have 5 types of veggies in the garden.

Have you ever planted parsnips ? If allowed to over winter, they start turning the carbohydrates into sugars towards spring -

Yeah, yeah. I have at least 7 types of veggies (in my refrigerator, from the grocery store)!

If that's what we're counting then I have a fruit grove, a mushroom farm and a dairy herd.

I have 3 deer in my garden.

(as long as we remember to close the door, they stay out of the greenhouse, where I have tomatoes, peppers, lemon and grapefruit trees, and sugar snap peas)

Sunflour has Buddy been eating too many gingerbread houses - too many calories.

If I let him bake he would eat it all . Need to put him on a diet, and anytime I mention it...he points his paw at me

Wow a great looking carrot. We tried growing those in ground and in a pot and never had any luck. Sweet potatoes? In Georgia they are a summer crop and dug up in the early fall, when did you plant yours?

Yeah, we moved here in May so some time after that but when i tried to dig them up they were still small. Frost killed the plants but i covered the ground with hay bales. Hoping they may grow vines if they make it through winter.

Hope they do
The quest for a better sweet potato began our veggie garden....after a few years we stopped trying, can find some decent ones locally grown and they take a lot of space.
