My carrots are tiny sprouts that make yours look gigantic ( they got planted late). I hope the backyard bunny doesn't get them...Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-40722751813966042652011-07-14T17:03:18.975-04:002011-07-14T17:03:18.975-04:00Great surprise!
On my post about the Voodoo Plant...Great surprise!<br /><br />On my post about the Voodoo Plant, you asked why I used tomato fertilizer. Supposedly the components promote growth of the tuber, as well as good foliage production. The fertilizer I use is an organic product. Maybe that's why I have a third sprout coming up!debsgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656883577922890561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-40446745047697598422011-07-14T15:05:51.868-04:002011-07-14T15:05:51.868-04:00Bet your mini carrots are packed with flavour -as ...Bet your mini carrots are packed with flavour -as will the tomatoes be once they ripen.Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-60650532749640803972011-07-14T12:49:04.664-04:002011-07-14T12:49:04.664-04:00How fun!!

It was given to me by a gardening friend. I can ask her and see if she knows. When I saw it growing in her pond, I just had to have some and she was willing to share :-) Gardeners are so nice like that, aren't they :-) I have another darker more purple pond iris, but I like this one better, and it's not crazy aggressive like the yellow ones can be.<br /><br />Sorry about the tomato! Check out Texas Tomato Cage (.com) -- nice heavy cages. We do everything bigger and better in Texas, you know -- tee hee.Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13862726143727717921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-61977580282808103112011-07-13T22:18:04.044-04:002011-07-13T22:18:04.044-04:00Yeah, those baby carrots are pretty tasty.

Had no idea what it was, but it sure was good! Love Hanni's idea on the microscopic carrot :) When I had my cafe the deal was this...if you called it grits you could charge $3.00; if you called it polenta, you could charge $7.00! :)Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293853685174685134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-46303424171376999992011-07-13T14:04:48.901-04:002011-07-13T14:04:48.901-04:00Oh, I don't feel so bad!

Matter of fact, you know that tiny little corn you get in some Chinese food? One time my grandson was eating them and he said, "Oh, look it's Mimi corn!" (He calls me Mimi) Ha! I grow jalapenos the size of my thumbnail! They are potent, but tiny. I think I don't water or fertilize my veggie garden like I should -- or at least on a regular basis. Who knows. I think I should just stick to flowers :-)Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13862726143727717921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-12907347617434080562011-07-13T13:56:48.026-04:002011-07-13T13:56:48.026-04:00Wash off one of those carrots, drizzle it it olive...Wash off one of those carrots, drizzle it it olive oil, place it on a huge pristine white plate, and charge out the wazoo for a fresh carrot salad appetizer. :) Gourmet!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-36876928074256807632011-07-13T13:56:10.770-04:002011-07-13T13:56:10.770-04:00yah for mystery tomatoes! what a wonderful surpri...yah for mystery tomatoes! what a wonderful surprise. glad to see they are doing well.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-65258923744337678232011-07-13T12:32:48.734-04:002011-07-13T12:32:48.734-04:00surprises can be fun.surprises can be fun.greggohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10490422976382424491noreply@blogger.com
