Gardening

Every time I get frustrated with Repubs, corporate America or the kid down the street I add another veggie to my garden planning chart. I have never done square foot gardening, but my raised beds are looking more and more like that. I am planting parsnips in a row between where my okra will be later in the summer, carrots and beets are now going beside my tomatoes. I am raising the tomatoes up by 18 inches by planting them in 5 gal buckets with large holes cut in the bottom to allow the roots to reach further down in the ground and give some air and sunshine to what is beside them. Still haven't found a place for eggplant, but those are pretty plentiful at the local farmer's market. Building a stronger trellis for the trombetta squash. I love those 2 season squash!

btw, love the Ford ad parodying the yuppy Cadilac ad. Composting rocks!
