I'd be able to feed my self and a bunch of others with one of those!

Lucky.

I hope all your efforts bear the best harvest.

I'm going for snap peas in a big pot on the porch so the deer and the rabbit won't eat them. Onions and tomatoes are going into some nice black dirt down at my buddy's house. I can't do a plot in the community garden because of my allergies. Everybody plants some kind of mint and I am seriously allergic to it, everything... catnip, basil, verbena, coleus, anything with a square stem and mint cluster form of blooms. I can still have basil if it's dried first or cooked into something but I can't eat pesto or lovely things like that. And I have to watch where I hike, there are several wild varieties and they are ubiquitous.

But I'm goin' for it. Everything warmed up Thursday night so I have been getting it all planned and plotted. New moon is Friday and I don't know if I can wait to put the seeds in!

If I had a house like yours, I'd be halfway to done by now. Maybe I can talk my buddy into putting one up in his back yard. A real hard maybe.

I'm using chicken dung and black dirt, seems to work well up here.
