Gardening through 2009~
I'm spending a lot of time planning new projects for the first showing of spring.
We have a high tunnel to erect, at least 4 new beds to build, and trees to plant.
My kitchen garden of rosemary, thyme, oregano, and sage is beautiful and producing.
It's lovely to look out when all else is covered in snow or icy crystals and see this bed of beautiful green.
It also supplies me with a steady snipping for hot tea.

If you haven't read it already, Patricia Klindienst book
"The Earth Knows My Name" is excellent. It covers people,
culture and gardening.
enjoy, Everett

- Ian, I love companion planting, saves a lot of work in the long term.
I plant basil amongst my tomatoes, marigolds everywhere and garlic in close proximity to the rose gardens.
We planted a wildflower bed this year and it has just begun to bloom...so pretty.
I have 4 bags of produce washed and sorted for friends who can't or don't garden...everything is so plentiful...already have most of what we will need into the freezer and preserved in other ways.
I'm taking a day off and away from the farm.
You have a smashing good day and be safe.

Ian said… - Hi Bea,
I have spent my morning, weeding and mulching a companion bbed in the garden.
The new vegetable garden is about 85ft square and in each corner I have put a 10ft x 10ft Quadrant. The idea is to plant flowers and shrubs that will attract in the insects and birds etc.
The 4 quadrant beds are now made and today, I weeded the first one and covered it with about 6 inches of straw. It has 4 or 5 shrubs in it at the moment but I will be planting more..

- Thanks Ian...I'm disappointed too...I was so looking forward to the journey, meeting you and the others who will be attending. Miracles do happen...so not totally ruling it out...guess that is from the desire to make it happen regardless.
Will certainly look you up when we do make the trip.
Hope you are well and having a grand summer.
Hubby and I spent the day rebuilding the paths through the gardens.
Very hot and dirty work, but all is done and it looks so good.
Blessings for your day.

- Hi Bea, Thanks for the note
I'm sad you won't be able to make it, I was looking forward to meeting yo.
If you manage a trip next year and Europe is in your plans then please look us up. It's a very beautiful part of France here.

Michelle W. Flannery said… - Bea, you've seem to be active in providing information for Mark's e-book. Thought you might like to know that he probably isn't monitoring the discussion too often. He requested that all responses be sent to the email address he provided in the discussion. I think most people leaving comments (that actually are responding to his questions) are missing that. Just thought you might like to know that if you really want Mark to get your responses. Thanks.

Fran Sheldon said… - Hi Bea, Thanks for the welcome. I'm so glad to have found KitchenGardeners. I'm really pressed for time right now, but I'll set up my page and introduce myself properly a little later. The elevator version is: I'm in line for a plot at a community garden this spring, looking forward to SUN for fresh veggies. My small house lot is dense to part-shade, so can't do much at home. I've dabbled off and on over the years, but this year I'm getting serious. I'm especially interested in heirloom and native species, and my husband and I hike, camp and backpack so I'm keen about foraging as well. My chief weakness: taking on too much. -Fran

Then hit the hyperlink button...a pictogram of a chain link.
