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

I love your posts. They're stimulating, very informative and well-written.
It seems to me that strict adherence to the rule of law makes for a much
less interesting list. Despite the list being technically about sq ft
gardening, do we really want to confine ourselves mentally to just one sq
ft? Wouldn't a little flexibility benefit us all?

Not that I want to see the list degenerate into non-gardening topics, but
many so-called OT subjects do have relevance to our beloved gardening theme.
As you say it's so easy to use the Delete button. As a vegan I had no
interest in reading about fish-heads, and it was quick and easy for me to
gather up those posts and press delete. The important thing is for us all to
be willing to amend the subject line when we deviate to another topic, thus
making it very simple for others to press Delete if they wish to.

Please keep contributing Patricia. You'll be sorely missed if you disappear
into cybermist.
