For those that garden
Pampered Chef Michelle
After anguishing with our very poor soil, lots of weeds and limited sunny
places in our yard, we decided to go with Square Foot Gardening
http://www.squarefootgardening.com We got one square built and set up this
weekend and plan to do another. In my searching for more information (like
good companions, height decisions, etc.) I found this website:
http://www.mnsi.net/~jhlavac/gardening/squarefoot.htm that has so many
links to different gardening information sites. There are personal websites
as well as academic and professional websites. Just a plethora of "stuff."
Alicia, square foot gardening may be just what you need. You can make the
beds with a bottom and then raise them up, so no bending over. A great idea
for those with limited mobility, back problems, or just plain don't want to
get down on your knees! :)
Anyway, just wanted to pass that on!

Than k you so much for these links! I have been staring at our back clay
yard wondering what I can grow back here since the groceries have had such
disappointing salad veggies as of late.

garden rather than, "Get up! You *have* to go work in the garden now." I
think the thing that has inspired me to expand this garden is the fact that
it isn't long narrow rows, looks pretty (or will LOL!) and that I know it is
all organic.

I'm not a gardener, but I thought I'd share with you an idea I saw in a
parenting magazine or somewhere. One of the ideas was to plant a garden
with your child spelling out their name. Each flower was planted in the
shape of a letter of their name. It really was pretty and neat when it was
grown.
