The pesto was so good. And, your garlic is absolutely amazing. It is going to be so hard to not eat the last one and save it for planting. Its great raw and I love how like u said there are no little annoying cloves in the middle. I'm sorry to hear about the peaches, that's too bad. Alice looks so cute in the photo! xoxongie Stacey!

]]> Comment on Herb garden massacre by Stacey http://staceycordeiro.wordpress.com/2007/07/04/herb-garden-massacre/#comment-5 Stacey Fri, 06 Jul 2007 14:14:53 +0000 http://staceycordeiro.wordpress.com/2007/07/04/herb-garden-massacre/#comment-5 Hi! Thanks! You believe that shit? I don't know if I've got noseeums but I've got lots of bugs - maybe some flea beetles? The kind that jump around with a little flea-like ping when you disturb them, plus the aphids.... My fava plants are mostly not producing beans, even though the plants look healthy. Only a few plants have any beans on them. I wonder if it's something to do with the bugs eating them? Or maybe the soap I've been spraying? I wonder if I've kept the little flowers from getting fertilized by dousing them with soap? It's kind of disappointing. That's life in the garden, I guess... Hi! Thanks! You believe that shit?

That would send me into a blind rage. All I have is Greek Basil for herbs and luckily my landlady owned her own nursery in PA so she's been instrumental. I seriously wasn't watering and repotting correctly, so she gave me some tips and now my green thumb is coming out with pride. I'm really, truly sorry about the careless, insensitive landscapers. Maybe you'll have to plant 'em on a porch or something. bummer. Have you had a lot of "no-seem-ems".?.those have been all over my leaves. I shake ou t the leaves and they fly everywhere! OMG. That would send me into a blind rage.

I just helped my landlady plant red blood trees, primrose, daffodils and lawn seed. she's a pro at this stuff, but i could use all the new info i can get so i can help her more! That’s great.

I would love to help you move dirt this weekend, but I am in New York and working. Playing in dirt and growing stuff is one of my favorite things to do.
