Re: Tom in 1 Sq F

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

This year I'm considering having 2 stems per plant instead of one, and training them along narrow
"V's" of string instead of vertical single strings....I really got a kick out of twisting their
little necks around the strings and having them climb...some of mine last year went over 7 feet.
