I end up using just old hay, which everyone stares wide-eyed at me for because HAY happens to have SEED in it and straw doesn't. But, so far, it has been free and straw hasn't. (I am SUCH a cheapskate.)<br /><br />You all will be eye-witnesses as to whether this gardening method thrives or crashes and burns. Gardening of any sort has a way of teaching you humility like nothing else. Because as great as it all SOUNDS in the beginning, one wrong bit of weather, one bit of blight and POOF. You got what you started out with. Nada. But for now, my hopes are high!<br /><br />Abby- the bird was furiously crashing into the window, attacking what I assume to be, HIMself. (Men.) The rhodo bush happened to be underneath. Those pictures were 100% right place at right time kinda thing. But I was pleased with them because I miss taking bird pictures. I love birds but am afraid to feed them for fear that our Percival kitty will take advantage of the feeder to be a sortof feeder of his own.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983592950942904914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-89669076414319258982013-06-14T14:30:53.755-05:002013-06-14T14:30:53.755-05:00Here is the "T" that ran away from my co...Here is the "T" that ran away from my comment above.

If the square foot method is a success, I might be forced (yes, forced) to copy you. We were supposed to break new ground down by the road for a separate tomato plot this year in hopes of avoiding the blight in the upper plot's soil, but my Dad's tractor got a flat tire, and the plans went *poof* along with it. I planted only half the normal number of tomatoes this year, assuming they'll die, and I though that would give me lots of extra room. Nope. I always have SO much more that I want to plant! Your way is very tempting for that reason alone!<br /><br />Samantha looks so wonderful. I can't wait to see the pictures!<br /><br />Lastly, good luck with the sale. We'll be halfway to your place tomorrow for the surprise party. Are you having it at your mom's or closer?<br /><br />(I really should look into getting this comment published. Book of the Year award, for sure.)Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01030527178801056471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-75333003122267648382013-06-14T07:28:17.670-05:002013-06-14T07:28:17.670-05:00i'd let your kids have at it..lol

Post lots of pictures of yours pleaseandthankyou. My love of neat straight rows is getting in the way of "plant this way and fit more in". My raised bed is still not planted save for peas.<br /><br />Lillian is a beauty and Samantha looks like she took to mothering like a duck to water : )Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363843039604440511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-2781035691055189272013-06-13T10:11:21.235-05:002013-06-13T10:11:21.235-05:00Love the blue bottles on the windowsill.

I finally got some plants in after our frost situation. I have peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, watermelon and beets growing. <br /><br />It looked beautiful! Then you know what I did?? Laid down straw. The wrong kind!! It's not funny! Ok, yes it is. ;)Miranda Hupphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02002975820312235632noreply@blogger.com
