I've grown veggie gardens for 35 years, and each year I try something 
new, mainly to see how it grows.  This year, the major experiment is 
chickpeas.  I thought pods weren't setting until I gently raised a 
branch, and they're all hanging beneath the branch.  Saving seeds is 
important too.  I've been a member of Seed Savers' Exchange for ten 
years or so, should have joined much earlier.  Margaret Lauterbach
