   Well I just ordered 30.00 worth of seeds from Pinetree and used Jonathan
Maiers Garden Mgr. 3.0 to plan about 16 4*4 beds.  But I am retired and have
little but time to do gardening.  I plan to be out in the garden building
beds etc. on the first of March so I can begin planting cold weather crops
by the 3rd or fourth week.
   Have I got the bug or what:-)
