It's called that because it really does MOVE when you tickle It. This is not a joke! The leave fold and even the branches droop. I found the TickleMe Plant Greenhouse on line which contains these unique seeds and even mini flower pote and soil pellets to grow them in.

When I realized I didn't enjoy it, I gave it up for pursuits I do enjoy, like knitting, scrapbooking or reading. My husband and daughter have had some success with beans and peas but haven't tried any fall/winter planting.

I can't wait to start our fall garden. I'm a CPA and will have no time until after the October 15th tax deadline. We'll probably try lettuces and onions - maybe some garlic and potatoes. I'm too late for pumpkins and squash here, so I'll have to rely on the farmer's market for those. I hope you'll keep us posted on your garden. I've always heard that cantaloupes and melons need fairly hot weather to ripen properly, so I pulled all of ours out in September since they wouldn't have time to mature before the weather turned cooler. We're in Texas, but we lived in Seattle for 8 years, and the Pacific Northwest is an amazing place to garden. Your mom is right - anything can survive there. For things that thrive in sun and heat like tomatoes and corn, we get better results here. However, for every one thing that grows well here, there are 50 things that thrived in Seattle that cannot withstand Texas heat. I like Texas, but I really miss gardening in the PNW.

I do ok with perennial flowers, but veggies, not so much! I love to grow cherry tomatoes and then just eat them right off of the vine. I tried some yellow ones this year and they were really good, too! We also have wild blackberry bushes, so I made some blackberry crisp with that back in July. Your plants look promising! Hope you get a bounty full of nice veggies :) Bella Bella Casas last blog post..<a href="http://bella1104.blogspot.com/2008/10/pillsbury-savorings-giveaway.html" rel="nofollow">Pillsbury Savorings GIVEAWAY!!!</a> I grew some tomatoes and herbs.

Our Fall garden consists of things that are still going strong from the summer, we didn't plant anything new. We're very surprised that our tomatoes are still thriving and find it odd that our chili peppers pretty much stay dormant all summer and then go to town at this time of year. They don't to that in other people's gardens. Our raspberries are doing very well, but they probably won't all ripen before it freezes.
