Our last freeze date is in Mid-March meaning our pollen has been going for weeks and weeks now- everything is so yellow down here! But from the pollen forecast I looked up, you guys have been in even worse shape this past week. Hope you see rain soon!!
I'm a wife, teacher and mom of two who came by gardening accidentally in order to appease a fussy child in a big-box hardware store. He saw yellow pear tomatoes (his favorite color) and we became container gardeners.
As it goes with anything involving children, my interest far outlasted his and now we have a square foot garden in our corner yard.
As long as we can battle the bugs and keep the dog from the soil, we might have some fun.
Harvest:
2009 TOTAL ---- 136 lbs
2010 TOTAL ---- I stink. I gave up weighing.
===============================
The boy has eaten:

===============================
The girl has eaten:
carrot
Cantaloupe - smelled, licked, sucked on a slice, but ingestion is doubtful.

Denise has a tree like that outside of her house. I am not a big sufferer, but I'm married to one and have lots of sniffy friends.
