I'm sure you will be very successful growing it!<br /><br />Thanks Laura, Writing the garden overview is really beneficial to me and I'm happy that it's beneficial to others too. It's amazing how much I remember when I am writing it. <br /><br />Sue, I am going to try Bussels sprouts again...but not next year. It's going to be tough getting the new Community garden set-up.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-75014691295548860502011-11-28T07:15:30.722-05:002011-11-28T07:15:30.722-05:00Our faith in Brussels sprouts has been restored th...Our faith in Brussels sprouts has been restored this year after two bleak yearsSue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-9991028157597508572011-11-28T00:39:15.610-05:002011-11-28T00:39:15.610-05:00I always appreciate the year end recaps - particul...I always appreciate the year end recaps - particularly when the focus is on growing conditions, timing, and methods as opposed to just the varieties and comparisons - as most of us select varieties really well suited to our growing regions - but the rest of the story usually applies to everyone and is of great interest.kitsapFGhttp://wwww.modernvictorygarden.com/apps/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-66770732185103355192011-11-28T00:02:43.200-05:002011-11-28T00:02:43.200-05:00You had lots of successes along with a few failure...You had lots of successes along with a few failures.

My garden this year was almost nothing, but I'm getting back out there now. I hope that next year will be a great gardening year! I know it always seems that we can do more with the record keeping and actually being out in the garden, but you have inspired many!!

Although we are in different zones, we are both on the east coast and have experienced some of the same weather trends this year.<br /><br />Daphne, I'm glad that you enjoyed the post. I really need to improve on my record keeping a bit! Maybe you will get around to posting some round ups this year. If not, it is something that you can always do in the winter when we all have cabin fever!<br /><br />David, I did a little better this year keeping track of my harvests. "The Italian" made me a spreadsheet which he copied the varieties off of my Garden spreadsheet. I started out good, weighing the different varieties and putting it on the sheet. Later on, everything got clumped together and most was put on the spreadsheet. There were some differences between the spread sheet and my Harvest Monday posts. So, I had to double check. Next year I'm really going to try harder to keep better records. I also put all of my records and pics from the garden on a disc at the end of the year just in case this old computer fails!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-23837765360565582962011-11-27T10:36:58.823-05:002011-11-27T10:36:58.823-05:00Robin, you are the master of record keeping. I...Robin, you are the master of record keeping. I'm impressed with the overall details. What kind of scale do you use to weigh the harvest? I usually start out good but as the garden work piles up, I space off keeping the records because the excuse is "too tired". I like your method of keeping it on a blog which would be a more safe place than on my computer as it seems that every three to five years a memory issue happens. I'm with the other commenters about seeing the facts of your harvest. It inspires me to do better and encourages me that I'm not the only one with a struggling garden this year.<br /><br />Have a great garden planning day and hopefully next year will be a bountiful harvest.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571521947867768070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-76272121745428892262011-11-27T09:22:32.672-05:002011-11-27T09:22:32.672-05:00I always love reading these posts too.

Usually I've done some of my round up posts, but this year I think it just won't happen.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-10495402672361334362011-11-27T08:23:04.760-05:002011-11-27T08:23:04.760-05:00Great post, Robin.

I know you consider this part of your record keeping but I enjoy posts like this as it helps me as I consider what my own sucesses and failures were.<br /> <br />I know we're in different zones but it's nice to see the details for your area.
