Thought I would share my joy with you all of my garden efforts this year. Today at a nearby town we picked up the ribbons we won. We entered 14 vegetables, and one flower arangement. We took 4-3rd place, 3-2nd.place, and 1-blue ribbon. With the drought this year I was pleasantly surprised, and some stiff competetion. It makes it all worth while.....

Thanks for all the Congrats....We took 3rd place for green beans, beets, garlic and my flower display. 2nds for hobanaro peppers, leeks, and pears. 1st for sweet potatoes.
We put in all raised beds called lasagna gardening, 20 in all. It was alot of work and back breaking. The hardest shoveling was the manure. Ha.Ha., but true. We used straw, hay, compost, spagnum, dirt, grass, and top soil. They are breaking down beautifuly and looking forward to next year. The best thing is they are virtually weed free....

Thanks for sharing this with us. If there are/were any doubters/scoffers in the area they should be convinced of the value of compost now.
