Hello, We are really excited about this list coming together and getting some new insights on gardening and making some new friends in the neighborhood. Right now we are growing vegetables, greens, herbs along with our flower beds and water gardening. We also started keeping chickens this year, eight of them, hopefully they are going to supply us with some good eggs in another month or two and help us out on the compost pile. This is our fourth year on the flower beds and second on the vegetable gardening. We are very interested in heirloom vegetables and organic gardening. This year I am growing squash (never had much of a problem with bugs), tomatoes, peas, beans, radishes (just picked my first batch this morning), carrots, beets, watermelon, and broccoli. One a side note, I am chef/owner of Globe restaurant on Glenwood avenue and would love to offer up some ideas for people that have run out of recipes for squash or peas or whatever they planted too much of. Thanks Gray and Greta Modlin 519 Barksdale
