I spoke to the farmer's wife and mentioned that our NY farmers were really falling down in their <i>obligation</i> to provide me with my autumnal decor items, and that if they didn't shape up <i>right quick</i> I'd have to take my cornstalk searching elsewhere. Hmph!<br /><br />I'm certain she was grateful for the timely words of warning. *nodding head*Diane Shifferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03449110271720365988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271879804911490046.post-53187413676733517902010-10-05T15:03:30.235-05:002010-10-05T15:03:30.235-05:00Hi there!

Over a year ago, I wrote a comment about her lovely period gowns sewing portfolio you photographed at CW, and I asked for the name of the fabric she used for one of them. She very generously helped me find it, and I promised to share my gown with her when I finished it. It's taken over a year, but it's finally done and posted on my blog! My thanks again to her for her help; I just love the fabric! And I'm eagerly anticipating the final product from the polonaise workshop, too!<br />RebeccaRebeccahttp://fashionablefrolick.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271879804911490046.post-51701944117970447332010-10-04T07:52:03.154-05:002010-10-04T07:52:03.154-05:00I"m still picking green peppers and tomatos f...I"m still picking green peppers and tomatos from my garden.

I'd offer some of our IL stalks, but most all of them are chopped to smithereens right now. Maybe you need to threaten your NY farmers that you'll go to IL for your stalks if they don't shape up!<br /><br />Victoria -- I was prepared to track the progress to see how far they would go before the cold temperatures killed them, but they all got tilled under yesterday, so there's not much hope there are any survivors out there. I'm guessing the odds of volunteer plants surviving are a little higher in your part of the world than they are here.Mr. Riggenbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794236758126578018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271879804911490046.post-73083212885356082812010-10-01T07:44:31.624-05:002010-10-01T07:44:31.624-05:00My father in-law had tomatoes sprout wild in his g...My father in-law had tomatoes sprout wild in his garden after last season's harvest. They ended up with more tomatoes than ever before, and they didn't have to do any planting. <br /> I wonder if you will have a warm fall that lasts long enough to actually get some corn.<br /><br />VictoriaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271879804911490046.post-53597255932907442752010-09-29T07:38:40.692-05:002010-09-29T07:38:40.692-05:00I always find it very interesting to compare the p...I always find it very interesting to compare the progress/state of our crops here in upstate NY with the crops in your neck o'the woods. Most of the corn fields around here have yet to be harvested. They are in that green-to-brown stage now, and I'm getting antsy! I <i>need</i> my fall fix of cornstalks!! Ideally I'd like to do my fall decorating at the beginning of September, but the farmers around here simply will <b>not</b> adhere to my timetable.
