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

This is the true essence of SQFT gardening.  How many times does someone
post that 'the book says this or that" or the book "doesn't say anything
about ----".

I'd rather think Mel meant SQFT gardening to be fun, challenging and
envigorating. Not fustrating, mechanical or enervating! We weren't taught
how to be parents, we learned through trial and error, application of our
life experiences and the advice of others (my mother-in-law as a jewel!).
I've had many failures over the years in my garden, but they are quickly
forgotten, though the lesson is retained. Thinking of the sweet crunch of
our freshly harvested carrots at supper tonite, or the beautiful vase of
fresh cut wildflowers on the table, I can only say "I'm glad I'm a SQFT
gardener".
