Well it's time to start thinking about getting the garden ready, if you have not already. Down here in the deep south, I'm able to get started sooner than most. For those who would like to know what you need to do to get started I found a site I really like 'Vegetable Gardening Guru' at this link http://www.vegetablegardeningguru.com/
A couple more good gardening sites.

I wish I could grow my own vegetables. Every year my husband attempts one and every year I tell him he is wasting his time. If the Killer weeds (and I mean giant, thorny killer weeds) don't do the garden in, then the deer, rabbits or gophers will get it. It's just impossible! >:(
I absolutely hate the produce at the grocery store. Half of it is spoiled at the moment of purchase!

Hi Eileen,
You must live out in the country. Well I don't live where wild animals can get at my vegetables, but I have 2 labs that love to dig holes in it. So I'm fencing it in this year, I have one spot already fenced and I will do the other soon. Weeding is a chore, it's something that must be done regularly or it will get out of hand. Can't say I always keep on top of it either.
I hope you don't give up on it, the fresh pesticide free vegetable are so worth it. I look at the work as good exercise, so I don't have to go to a walking track or a gym :)
mercy, peace and love

I keep saying every year that I am going to plant a garden! We used to have a garden all the time. My hubby is an excellent gardener, but he just plain got lazy!! I love to garden, but I haven't gotten out to do it in 9 years or better! That's just REALLY sorry! LAZY, LAZY, LAZY!!! I keep saying "well it's about time to plant the taters if I'm gonna make a garden." I saw where DR has a tiller that you can pull behind your riding lawn mower. I told my husband he needs to check it out. Our ground is so hard it's like concrete when it hasn't rained! Tilling would be good for it AND well, durn it all I might even grow me a tater or a squash! Hee hee! Maybe I will do it!! ;D ;D
thanks Kat, I might just do it!
Kathy ;) ;D

What's a DR? I told my husband we need to till this little piece of land he has tried to grow a garden in before. I think we are going to do it this time. Just gotta figure out a way to keep the critters out!!
