[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 469707, member: 9"] Had a garden this year. Last year was too dern windy to grow anything. Basically this year just grew cantaloupes, green beans, tomatoes, and peppers. Learned a lesson on cantaloupes: When they begin to form, put straw or hay under the fruits. Keeps the bottoms from rotting next to ground. Going to move the garden for 2008. Couldn't keep weeds and grass under control, even with spot spraying before and during with roundup. Plan for 2008: Layout a patch, roundup on grass, remove dead grass. Put landscape fabric down. Make retainer on perimeter with crossties. Fill inside with soil & some rabbit manure mix we have. Make sure tomato stalks are supported UP so tomatos don't touch ground and rot. Lots of space between rows and others. Make sure can weed, pick stuff without stepping on other stuff. Hope for better luck in 2008...lol. BTW: Produce in supermarkets is a crap shoot. Especially potatos: Too much "green" found on them: Think stores use special kind of lighting to disguise "green" skin from showing and when you get them home...10-20% waste from cutting off the "poisonous" green part of potatos.
