Re: Cold feet in the Square foot garden

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Terri,
I remember feeling the same way...take a couple deep breaths! I remember
feeling QUEEZY the first time I pruned my fruit trees...deep breaths...I was
always amazed when my experienced gardening friends would (as it looked to
me) whack away at things and they would look wonderful...eventually. This
year I planted over 2,000 bulbs of alsorts. I started running out of places
to put some so I just stuck a bunch of them in the ground just so they
wouldn't die! I'll move them around later when I find the right spot.
You are going to have a wonderful time playing in the dirt!
Melody
