The seeds can be hard to find and unfortunately the rodents love to pick them from my garden when they're young. I hope you enjoy yours and next year I'll try fortifying the garden a little more.

It's wonderful that your blog has gotten so popular. I just wanted to congratulate you for your plans on a book and I'm so glad that you will not change your blog. You've been a tremendous inspiration for me and I find so much encouragement in your words for living a simpler life.

That is wonderful news.<BR/><BR/>I, too, wonder if your archives will be accessible in the future, or if you'll have to close them because they are going into book form? I've seen that done with other blogs that have gone to books. I surely hope they remain accessible, as I have not read all of them yet.<BR/><BR/>I WILL be in line to purchase your book when it comes out.

I let it go too long before I realized what was going on and intervened so now the vines are shot. If you see a vine that's vigorous and then wilted at the tip, start looking for a grub in the hollow part of the stem and get rid of it.

Presumably one of those things that some people do - the "I want to sell my book - so I'll shut down my blog" syndrome. Can I put in a plea for you to leave all your blog as accessible as it is now? It would rather negate the whole point of a simple living blog if people could only get the information in future by paying for a book. The point of a book is to have a ready reference thing to hand - complete with index - so that one can look things up easily, theres just the basic information in (not daily comments and responses to) and it can be lent to friends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-49836101839092147282008-08-25T18:56:00.000+10:002008-08-25T18:56:00.000+10:00Wonderful news about the book!

A 'nice day' is when it's not raining. We've had floods in Carlow and 2 kilometre long mudslides in Kerry. Towns are empty at weekends as so many people take last minute holidays somewhere sunny.<BR/><BR/>But, our veg is doing very well - we got a polytunnel this year and despite everything going in late and the cold we have a bumper crop of peas, runner beans, gherkins the size of cucumbers, hundreds of tomatoes (green - I hope they ripen!)onions and leeks. Without it we would have nothing.<BR/><BR/>A suggestion (and I am NOT volunteering!) Now that you have so many readers, perhaps a forum would be a nice way for everyone to chat and swap tips and advice?
