This would be so nice for green onions. I find the worms always get mine. Have yet to find a way to get the cut worms out of the garden. So maybe taking the onions out of the garden would work.

I love your site. have now been looking at it off and on for 2 days. I don`t bother to close it just go do other stuff then come back to it. Right now I am going to watch a program I taped last night so I could go to bed and not miss it. I knitt while I watch tv and I have this felted bag I want to get done sooooo I need to get away from you for a bit. *smiles*

We are doing raised bed gardens but I’m just doing tomatoes this year as I have precious little sunshine in our yard due to the beautiful pine trees so I can’t grow that much and am giving all of my space to tomatoes – yum! Plus, our rabbits eat everything else but have yet to develop a taste for tomatoes, thank goodness! Your garden sounds wonderful! I hope you’ll post pics when you get it in and update us on the progress!

Christy, are you doing wading pool gardens again? We bought our pools and supplies today! Two big and one little. I’ve been planning them for a while so am pretty excited. The big pools wouldn’t fit in our Explorer and my husband considered making me carry them home (we live a mile from the store and I make the walk regularly) but he called a friend with a truck instead How funny would it be to see a lady carrying two giant turquoise pools down a 4 lane road? Maybe I could have rolled ‘em! Anyway, I’m taking a break from preparing my gardens (also planted all my flowers today) but am super excited. Have to wait until next weekend to plant the veggies though. I’m going to try cherry tomatoes, big tomatoes, zucchini, basil, strawberries and peas.

Loving your emails!!!!!!!!!!

As to what are we planting in the garden: Tomatoes, different kinds of peppers, lettuce and we will have blackberries and strawberries this year. Yeah!! Had blackberries last year and hoping to have even more this year. Tame blackberries get very large. Our apple trees are loased with blooms right now.

80 degrees today but dropping down in the 60′s for the highs for the next few days. Hmmm we must live in Kansas-ha

I saw in a magazine a neat way to do ‘raised beds’. Take a straw bale, spread a bag or two of potting soil on top, plant your plants and water them. The roots will grow into the straw. Just remember to water these self draining gardens. )

Nice in that you can put a garden anywhere there is sun.
