Is it time to start a garden ?

;D what time is supper, Kat? ;D

musicman:
Do Dovermans eat vegetables out of gardens?  Because I would have to have one right in the middle of it to keep the undesirables (thieves) from harvesting my produce daily.  Kids constantly steal my avocados.  Nothing a ravenous Doverman with rabbies can't fix though (OK, the rabies aren't necessary).


Maybe there's something symbolic about avoiding a garden.

Afterall,


We don't need another Bush!!!

I'd love to have a garden, however, the area I live in seems to be ground squirrel central and my neighbors won't help me to move them to another location cuz "their so cute."  >:( There is actually a law in AZ that the critters must be moved to a "designted" area.
And, there's that 120 degree "dry heat" during the summer months that burns up just about everything.

gmik:
Then there are all these tomatoes w/ e coli or salmonella spreading around.  Best to grow your own.  But then what if you go out to eat????

I am glad I believe God knows the exact nano second of my death and I can't change that, organic food or not!!

I know gardening is a good hobby and fresh is best, it is just not something I am good at! ::)

Hi Gena,

To each his own.  There is so much good food available in the gro. stores now that it might not be practical for some to garden.  But I do enjoy working the ground and watching things grow.  I have been flower gardening for many years and just thought to turn my efforts into something more useful... like something to eat :D

Oh my Patrich, squirrels are a big problem.  We have a lab and a basset hound in our back yard, that keep the squirrels away (there are many in near by trees).  But then I have to cover my garden with fence wire to keep the dogs from digging in it  ::)
And the heat... the sun is pretty intense here to in the summer too.  Some plants just can't take that kind of heat.  I have one garden spot close to the house, so that the sun goes behind the house in the afternoon and blocks it that late afternoon heat.  Those plants are doing quite well. 
What you have to do is learn how other people deal with the problems that you have in your area.  People can get very innovative when they want to figure out something. 

mercy, peace and love
Kat
