Nice LSS.

What are those on the bottom row? I have a plant of Santa Fe Chile pepper that went the entire summer with nary a bloom, but now it's covered up. I'm up to about 100 tomatoes on the vine, but most of them a cherry or some kind of red delicious I got from Chickenman.

Next year she'll water it during early morning hours or I'll take away sex.

You ever heard of "Gypsy" onions ? They grow little bulbs on the top of the stalks and when the stalks fall over they re-plant themselves. My dad called them "shall-owes" (maybe a French pronunciation of "shallot" ? ) but they're not shallots.

Mine died out and I've been trying to find them for years. Good strong onion flavor without the bother of seeds.

Walking onions, they're sometimes called. Or topset onions. Or tree onions. As they mature, an odd growth appears at the top of the stem, encased in a shroud that peels back like a snakeskin, revealing a clutch of small, dark-skinned bulblets that send out thin green scapes to dance on the breeze like a many-armed Indian goddess. As the bulblets grow, the weight of them bends the stem toward the soil. Where it touches, the little bulbs sprout, making a new garden for themselves, slowly but purposefully moving away from where I planted them, wandering in search of something better, or maybe just different.

Perennial white topset onions, walking onions, Egyptian onions, winter onions, shallots, multiplier onions and scallions are common names for these onions. These onions can be planted and left in the ground year round.

I remember reading somewhere to plant annual ryegrass in the garden over the winter to promote a more nitrogen rich soil for the spring. Any truth to that? Experiences?

put some fish in the garden. I'd have to go buy them though, as I can't catch any.

We are having our annual family get together next weekend at my uncle's land. I will be spending a lot of time (hopefully) pulling cats out of the pond. Using the meat for the annual fish fry and the remains for the garden...

Make sure and clip the fins. You don't want to step on one.
