So I'm planning *modified* square foot gardening, I guess (does that make it square decimeter gardening?)<br /><br />I had to buy organic aphid spray last week, as my roses were positively crawling with them, and I will NOT give up all my roses! --- but I intend to use it only when there's a problem, and not as some sort of crutch!<br /><br />I have a hedgehog in my garden, and the neighborhood cats seem to give her (because I named her Mrs. Tiggywinkle, natch) a wide berth (all our felines seem to be well-cared for, and I haven't found one spraying *yet*) I also found about $35 worth of metal tomato trellises thrown in a corner the other day. YAY!<br /><br />So...hopefully we'll all be eating fresh veggies soon!<br /><br />xxSunshineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685759408151060633.post-9818143172291216212009-05-06T03:42:00.000-07:002009-05-06T03:42:00.000-07:00This will be so much fun, and I can only imagine h...This will be so much fun, and I can only imagine how much Elise will like eating things from the garden! Word to the wise: don't send your child out to hoe the beets. :-)<br /><br />Love,<br />MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
