First you have to understand that I am not good @ growing things. I love flowers and veggie gardens ,but I'm allergic. So when spring comes, if I want to breathe, I really am better off staying indoors.
I have never learned much about the outside stuff. My Daddy was a farmer and if there was a ? then I asked him. He passed away last Dec. so now I'm on my own.
This spring I decided to plant tomatoes, peppers and a cucmber plant. We are talking about a raised bed with about 12 plants. I didn't do anything special just dirt and fertilizer. We have a drought in GA this yr so we are not allowed to water. I have been saving gray water and keeping things moist.
Let me tell you. All but 2 of my tomatoes are about 41/2 ft tall. There are 2 about 3 ft tall. Lots of blooms and some veggies. We have LOTS of cucumbers and now the peppers are coming along. Oh yes and I have Okra. I had never seen this growing. I was surprised to find out it grew with the pointed end up!
Now to the point. Usually I kill stuff. Do you think I have a garden angel? I'm thinking that Daddy is still helping me.((LOTS!!!) I guess he has lots of time to do this now. He used to love to have a garden.
What do you guys think?

Thanks ladies. I know it has to be him how else would it grow?
Nancy, I can go out and wander and pick. The worst time is in the spring when you need to plant. that's when everything is blooming and I really have trouble with the itchy runny eyes and breathing. This time of year I can go out there for awhile and weed as long as I don't stay too long. I found out that the okra makes me itch if I brush against it. I have my bar of Fels-Naptha soap in the kitchen and wash off as soon I come in.
I'll remember to pat my shoulder so Daddy will know that I know.

I say your Daddy is right there beside you, when you miss him most go out to your garden he is obviously there for you.

It sure looks that way Teddie,when you get the feeling he is there, give your right shoulder a pat, that tells him you know he is there. Can you breath this year? and work in the garden?
