Re: Cold feet in the Square foot garden

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

Teri -- you are funny!  I felt exactly the same way with my little (not very
many layers) of lasagna gardening.  Just DO it, as my 80 yo mother says.
Get it in the ground.     ....   and my kitties are always a pain in the
garden, purring, wrapping around my legs, and stepping on things as they
play tag, thinking I love them elsewhere, surely I would love them in the
garden!  I put them out, they just climb back in.  I am thinking of fencing
the top to keep the kitties and the grasshoppers out  ... with mosquito
netting all around.   Oh well, just enjoy -- sqft gdng is great with the
lasagna method.  And, Teri -- next year YOU will be THE EXPERT! ... Nickie
