Winter garden is in :) I'm giving sugar snap peas one last shot. I also planted some tomatoes (small plants), lettuce, and green beans. This is a small garden (4 ft. by 8 ft.) so I have to do it on a small scale. I'm vowing to watch carefully for those dastardly spider mites that have killed the pea vines in the past. Hopefully I can stay on top of the rust/blight, too. THat does a number on the beans and tomatoes, and the snails usually go for the lettuce.

I let the garden go empty for one full year in hopes that diseases would lessen. We'll see if it was any help. Can't wait for that first garden ripe tomato. I'll have to call my Dad in WI and let him know--that always gets him! So does calling from the beach in the middle of a blizzard ;P (They have plenty of time to "get us back" when it's 100 degrees in the shade here...) All in good fun.
