WOW!! I had to reread your blog post thinking that I somehow was reading an old post— We are in full fall garden weather here–our garden holds broccoli, cabbage, lettuce and collards and it was loving the cool weather and rain yesterday. Last week we picked the pears off of our tree and they are now awaiting canning– so having corn, squash and tomatoes is really amazing at this time of year… i forgot about the warm garden weather way down south!!!

Hope you have an abundant supply of fruit and veggies!!! How wonderful!

Yep, it was a typo. I meant seeded grapes. Whoops. Mommy brain/ gestational gaffe. Thanks for reading my mind!

My grandma still grows grapes with seed…both tame and wild. The wild make the bestest jelly ever.

Amy, I laughed my head off at the post Hatching Melons. Mostly because just this evening, my 2 year old was drooling after my watermelon (one of the few foods the preggy mommy can truly enjoy) and calling it pumpkin. Puhkin? Peese, Momma, puhkin? So, can’t you bake pumpkin seeds as a treat? I think I recall that once…or maybe not…my memory just ain’t what it used to be…….

Tim, I read about a similar method called the Japanese Tomato Super Growing Method (or something like that). I would like to try that one season; unfortunately, I wasn’t organized enough this year. I’m already a few weeks late. I recall reading about the watermelon accomplishment on your site a long time ago.

Lora Lynn, I meant seeded grapes (typo on your part?). I’m glad to know that someone eats the real thing still. All these hybrids on the market…. I admit to preferring seedless watermelons too, but only because I have little ones. When they are older, I will revert to preferring taste over ease of clean up.
