When we lived in our old house we were in the river bottom and had a wonderful garden right off of the back door but since we've moved we're on a hill and the soil isn't very good at all. We've had a garden at the bottom of the driveway where there's a small meadow but it's just too far from the house to be very convenient. Plus Glen makes it so big that you can never get all the work done or use all of the vegetables.

Last year I tried to talk my husband into making me a small raised garden and he didn't do it but the other day he set out a frame and it just needs filled with dirt. It won't be very big at all but we'll have some fresh vegetables this summer. I saved the website so I can check it out later. Thanks Gayle. You'll have to take some pictures so we can see it!

We need to repair the garden fence where the tree took half of it out. I want a huge garden, so I can do some canning.

You might remember that I went to the farmers' market last year, bought several things and did some freezer canning. We lost all that in the hurricane when we didn't have electricity and the veggies just turned to mush when they thawed. Makes me sick in several ways!

It's almost hurricane season again!

Sad to hear you lost all that work!! Please don't rush hurricane season though. We sure don't need that right now on top of everything else!!
