I&#39;ve only seen them on the west coast---never thought of growing them myself. When&#39;s the best planting time in Maine/New Hampshire for fall harvest?

Happy Fourth of July! This is a great day to reconnect with you.<br /><br />After viewing your photos in recent posts, I have an EXTREME but friendly case of garden envy. Your crops are so lush &amp; healthy. And the colours - a rainbow of phytonutrients. I&#39;m so glad this gardening year is making up for 2009.<br /><br />Are you offering me that juicy looking raspberry in the top photo. Well, thank you, I&#39;d love to pop it into my mouth (I&#39;ll take my chances with the worms.)<br /><br />Hope the rest of your gardening season is sunny and warm.Elainehttp://greensandberries.squarespace.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-724001927038830012.post-11122126160455393712010-07-04T09:24:13.825-04:002010-07-04T09:24:13.825-04:00that sounds delicious Jean! it also sounds like something that i can tricks my boys into eating :) thanks for the tip!!a tasteful gardenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01087114615825374568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-724001927038830012.post-8165945900827745962010-07-03T21:13:08.322-04:002010-07-03T21:13:08.322-04:00Allison, I&#39;m a big fan of rutabaga as a winter vegetable. Try cooking it like you would mashed potatoes, adding milk (or cream, if you want to be really decadent), butter, and nutmeg at the end. Delicious! -Jeanjeansgardenhttp://jeansgarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-724001927038830012.post-82332005588502384102010-07-03T16:36:15.973-04:002010-07-03T16:36:15.973-04:00The treasures from your garden look amazing...everything on the East Coast seems to be coming in early this year...Pattyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12270725992084535102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-724001927038830012.post-73891248980361068662010-07-03T12:54:28.697-04:002010-07-03T12:54:28.697-04:00Lucky you as it&#39;s been far from ideal here in London!<br />Anyway a Happy Gardening Fourth of July to you!
