Here is my list of smaller veggies (for Socks12345) - I add to it from time to time as I come across new (to me) small veggies. I haven't tried 1/10 of these so you're on your own to experiment. Vertical gardening on a trellis, or strawberry tower/tube saves space too. I also look for short season, extra-early or early varieties to free up garden space sooner so I can plant more. Asterisks denote cool season crops, in general root and leaf crops. I didn't put asterisks on the cool tolerant tomatoes though but you can Google it and find more info.

Steven: you should have gotten the Gothic arches! I'm still waking up at 3-4am in the morning. At least I got out and pulled weeds for 3 hours yesterday! Stories... We've been all over Italy (6 trips) and thought it was our favorite country until now. This was our 3rd trip to France (Paris, Provence, Cote d'Azur). Definitely, the Cote d'Azur (aka the French Riviera) wins as our favorite for these reasons: The southern French are so very friendly. Everyone, from fellow hikers with a 'bonjour', to the attitudes of restaurants and hotel staff, extended great warmth and friendliness. We didn't feel out of place since so many French vacation in the area, too. They dress much more casually than in Paris or Provence. They were in sneakers/sandals and jeans/shorts more than I've ever seen anywhere in Europe. I guess we blended in pretty well as we were even asked by French, in French, for directions on several occasions. It is a very comfortable environment in terms of language, safety, and casualness of the people. Between the two of us, we know/read/speak sufficient French that we can communicate. Not saying that we're eloquent! LOL We enjoyed the food much more than in other parts of France where we found the choices to be pretty much the same thing everywhere. There was a lot of variety. Being so close to Italy, the Alps and Provence, there was a lot to choose from. We stayed in Mougins, which is THE gourmet village in the area. Dollar to Euro: this trip wasn't as expensive as Italy or the UK. A 3 course meal in a gourmet restaurant was 19-25 Euros, per person. If we bought a 3 course meal at a gourmet restaurant here in Chapel Hill, it would cost more. Local wines were less expensive than Diet Coke by the glass. We drank sparkling water at all meals instead of sodas. All food was delicious, whether it was a sandwich jambon cru or croque monsieur at a l'emporter (take out) place, or a gourmet meal. Gelato was plentiful, too! :-) The desserts and pastries were luscious. I've never been anywhere else where I got up every morning and felt like a kid. All smiles and no bad moods with that gorgeous sea and sunshine. The hikes were just perfect for us. We didn't pay admission for anything on this trip other than the Villa Ephrussi gardens. Our interest was all out there for free. The trails (sentier littoral) are well-documented, well-marked and well-maintained. Some trails are not for those with balance problems, vertigo or low stamina. Other trails are just level, wide paths with gorgeous views. I was really proud of myself for a 9 mile hike on the penninsula of St. Tropez. Both DH and I could see doing a long-term vacation rental there sometime in the future if the time/finances work out. DH picked up real estate brochures all the time. If a person wanted to buy property, we think you get a lot for your money compared to popular resort areas in the US. That's not the case in so many other European areas, especially the big cities like Paris or Rome. However, we do understand that many of the coastal villages become literal ghost towns in the winter from October until April/May, so we must assume that the winter/mistral winds make it a less inviting place to live year round. We did have one celebrity siting while we were in the port of Antibes. I am positive that we saw Jude Law driving a Porsche slowly (tiny parking lot) past us up to a yacht. I just googled him and yep, he's rented a place on Cap d'Antibes, which is just down the road from Cannes (the festival starts May 14th).

Howdy Thierry, I agree that [very sadly for us "murcans"] ;0) , most murcan violets don't have any scent at all. And I certainly agree that those Odoratas and Parmas really are top of the list for fragrance, but... If you ever have a lot of Priceana in bloom on a warm day, try smelling a bundle of freshly picked flowers. It's not super strong and it is very different from odorata or Parma, but it's still a pleasant fragrance. Reminds me of honeysuckle or jasmine. Viola canadensis also is always scented for me. And Viola blanda has a little bit too. And just once, when my nose was really starved, I even found some fragrance in a large pile of Viola striata flowers that I was collecting pollen from. I was very surprised at that one -- I'd smelled it many times before and always been disappointed. I sure hope your nose can smell some of these too -- don't give up too easily on the murcans. Thanks for the laughs. Take care, Tom P.S. In case anyone is still wondering what these murcan violets are... Hint: say it 5 times fast -- "a murcan violet, a murcan violet, a murcan violet, a murcan violet, a murcan violet"

Hello Isabel, Many roses are subject to color variations ; the China R.Chinensis semperflorens, from wich all reblooming reds descent -Dusky Maiden too- often gives some pink flowers. Here in fresh Belgium, "GruB an Aachen" open in light yellow,then fades into white.We had 35° every day during three weeks, and its flowers are less beautiful now, here too so this could have played a role. I'd certainly give up on the iron powder, tough.Chalky water or not. I think it's better to feed roses with organic stuff only (compost, manure). If your soil has extreme charachteristics, the best way is to know wich rootstock(s) do well in this area. Ask old gardeners/rosarians in the neighbourhood. Doing so, I discovered R.Laxa and Multiflora, often used by big roses producers in Europe, did not work in my area. I stick now to R.Canina or Rubiginosa. For you I of course don't know, but R.Indica Major was largely used in southern France in dry, chalky soils. That's only an example. Hope this helps. Best wishes, Pete.
