I've got about 6 boxes ready to go. I'll still have my peas and beans in rows, but most everything else will be in raised beds. I've got that Mel Bartholomew book "Square Foot Gardening". Dad's built me 4x4 garden boxes, and I've got two of them done up with onions already. I'm still leary of another little freeze before it's all over with (altho time for Texas is growing short). I think you'll enjoy it (John will enjoy it) and I'm hoping I'll be able to save much water, after last's years drought.

I always grow basil and other herbs and tomatoes and peppers. Last summer I had luck with with eggplant, so I might try that again although this mild winter may mean we will be bothered by a lot of new hungry baby squirrels this summer.

Beautiful!!<br />Congratulations on your recent wins. That book looks very interesting and Karen's dish cloth is lovely. In fact that whole bowl full of them is like a bowl full of love.<br />I'm interested to see how you will garden without digging. I have one raised bed which I recently planted with seeds of romaine, radishes and peas. They are just beginning to sprout. So exciting.<br />I probably shouldn't tell you this, but we are headed for the upper 70s here today which is actually unusually warm for this time of year for us.Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-77141922348219774262012-03-01T10:33:26.280-05:002012-03-01T10:33:26.280-05:00My husband always plants a garden...as does everyo...My husband always plants a garden...as does everyone in his family. I guess it's part of their genetic code. (Although I suspect is has more to do with thriftiness really. Which is a good thing.)<br /><br />I grew up in a neighborhood, and while my dad did beautiful landscaping, we never had a vegetable garden. So the first summer that I was married, my husband planted an enormous garden, and brought me basket after basket of vegetables to "do" something with...and I was completely overwhelmed! It scarred me. ;-)<br /><br />In recent years, I have taken more of an interest in the actual gardening and asked him to build some raised beds, as they seemed less intimidating than row after row of planted things and hoping that slithering things were not lurking in there. (Yes, I know I'm a wimp.) <br /><br />Anyway, I'll start off with a bang. Here on March 1st it sounds like a lovely idea!Cheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-65818141434926500502012-03-01T10:29:24.976-05:002012-03-01T10:29:24.976-05:00Yes...I will be planting a garden this spring.

It just feels good to have the soil all loose and 'lump free' for the new growing season. My beds are 4' x 8'...with a ledge all around to sit on. (My kind of gardening!)<br /><br />I made carrot soup this week...with carrots that I dug out of the garden.
