Dude, you rock!! I wish I had had the slightest shred of interest when my parents did heavy vegetable gardening. I'd love to know that stuff now. (At the time, it just meant more yucky stuff I'd have to eat.)
I'm still plugging away with my little pepper plant. It came with three teeny peppers; one is about the size of a golf ball now, one is still teeny, and one fell off yesterday. :( Maybe I'm watering it too much, I don't know. It has one yellow leaf, but the rest look happy. And it gets the afternoon sun, and it's been 98 every frickin' day, so I figured I better water the crap out of it. What do I know? And my mom told me to water the roses once a week, but once I'm already bothering to water the pepper, I go ahead and water them, too. They're loving it. They quit flowering for a few weeks, but since I started that, they're covered again. Yay roses! Maybe next year I'll manage to grow some food.
My mom did lots of vegetable gardening when we were little. She had a garden one year when we were at Fieldstone, but then she stopped because she hated being watched by Nosy Rosy all the time. So, I don't really remember much about gardening except putting salt on the snails in the lettuce, pulling weeds, and my Uncle Sam using a rotatiller to start the garden initially. We also used to help weed and pick peas and cucumbers in Grandma and Grandpa's garden. I know you're not ultra-familiar with that property, but they had a MASSIVE garden. I just don't know all the particulars of it because I was a little kid and was never involved in most of it.
Our roses are blooming now and they make the fence look really pretty.
