My maiden name is Tillman – a revision of the old English version of Tilghman. Back in the 1700s, Tilghmans were tillers of the soil, farmers. While I am far from an amazing farmer, I do enjoy planting those specific plants all good southern women in the USA should plant like tomatoes and yellow crook neck squash. This year I tried adding a miniature pumpkin and a small sweet watermelon. The problem with the watermelon is that it has become pragmatical by assuming its own practical point of view and that it should take over the entire garden while it continues to growing on down the hill into the back yard. Reminder for next year if I try to experiment with watermelon is to plant in an area where it can go absolutely nuts if desired.
Gardening for me is a self diagnostic process of stress relief allowing me to dig through my aggravations in a practical way without causing human pain. Or plant pain for that matter. Then seeing the benefits of colorful flowers and tasting the benefits of home grown veggies is well worth the gardening experience. My doctor even told me I needed to add more vegetables to my diet, less red meat and less pasta which is not a problem since I am not a big pasta fan. I am including a few pictures of my efforts this year, enjoy.
And of course the flowers

Wonderful post. I don’t think fried vegetables count, but as a fellow southerner and female, I do love fried anything, except maybe candy bars.

You have to visit a carnival in the South or Midwest, with fried Snickers or Milky Way bars, and fried everything. I will pass on them, but not fried okra!

I am originally from Atlanta and have seen some weird fried things. But now that I am in the Midwest and the county fair fired fare…some pretty weird things. Not everything can be fried. LOL

Not this year. I planted a flower to help with that and cant remember the name if it. Two years ago we had groundhogs, and they causes major damage to my yard.
