Hey, vegetable gardeners! How's it going?

Calling all rookie vegetable gardeners?

Steve Bogash, a former University of Maryland Extension educator who now works for Penn State Extension, has put together an easy on-line survey for vegetable gardeners, and he is asking vegetable gardeners across the country to report back.

He wants to know how things are going, especially for the newcomers to vegetable gardening.

Jon Traunfeld of the University of Maryland Extension promises to share the results of the survey on the Grow It, Eat It network and Garden Variety will let you know, too.

Here’s Steve’s message with a direct link to the survey.

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
