>Hello all,
>
>My name is Jean, and I am new to the list, and to square foot gardening. I
>have always been a big fan, but my thumb is a bit black, so I am hoping to
>change all that. I live in sunny and hot Dallas, Texas -- zone 8a.
>
>I am planting my first sq. foot crops tomorrow. I'm so excited! Currently, 
>I
>have several tomato plants (about 5 each per planter) planted in 32 quart
>planters. The tomato plants are now about 18" tall.
>
>Questions for you green thumbs:
>-at what point should I add those trellis-like round wire things to the 
>pots
>to support the toms?
>-do the tomatoes adhere to that thing by themselves, or do I need to do
>something special?

the purpose

>-Kitty: which new book were you referring to in your purple tomatillo post?
>And... happy birthday!! :-)
