Didn't care that much for it. It tastes pretty good raw, so could use it in salads. But then I cooked it in lightly salted water, and that was a big mistake. We all hated it. I won't do those again simply because we aren't used to eating it, and there are so many other veggies I'd rather grow. Ah, the Chinese cabbage… Didn’t care that much for it.

At least the way things are set up per today (Feb. 2012). :) Hope that helps! Thanks for the feed-back!

My garden measures 29.33 ft x 19.5 ft x 29 ft x 12.5 ft, walking around it clockwise. If I did my math correctly, the perimiter is 90.33 ft., or 27.53 m, and area of 469.27 sq.ft, or 53.05 sq.m. I don't know what the name of the shape would be, but the two bottom corners are 90 degree angles, and one of the sides is longer than the other. So it is like a rectangle, only one of the sides is slanted, while the other three sides are straight. To visualize a little easier, the bottom base (from where I look at it) is about 29 ft, the top is 29 ft, and the side to the right is 12 ft, the side to the left is 19 ft. Thanks!

Thanks for your advice (and thanks too for the plants you shared with us). About how big is your garden (how many feet by how many feet approximately)? I'd like to plant a nice garden some day and wondered what size I should start with. Interesting reading. Thanks for your advice (and thanks too for the plants you shared with us).

I do feel very blessed! I have not completely made up my mind yet what I'll be doing; will try out some herilom tomatoes probably, and grape instead of cherry tomatoes. Will put in water melon and maybe cucumbers, and carrots, some beans. Will probably not be doing potatoes this year, as much as I want to. Thanks for your very nice comment! :) Thank you very much!
