Hello, all...

Last week was so slow on the list, I was beginning to wonder. I went out of
town from Thursday til last night and when I came back I found lots and
lots of messages with great information. Thanks to you all.

I live in the southern part of North Carolina (as a matter of fact I'm
three miles from S.C.) I've been semi-gardening for a couple of
years...meaning, I've planted some stuff but haven't done too much of the
other stuff needed to truly be a gardener.  This is my first year of making
an all out effort.  

I read Mel's book about a month ago and wanted to put it into practice, but
it was too late to apply it to my vegetable garden (though I plan to plant
some extra tomatoes using the vertical method he recommends).

I expanded my front flower bed by an extra 10' in width (it's about 40 feet
long)...I marked off beds using the sq. ft. method, and have planted
strawberries, herbs and raspberries.  With the Y2K crisis coming down, I'm
concerned about food shortages and only want to plant edibles...but, at the
same time, I don't want my front yard to look bad.  The strawberries, herbs
and raspberries look good, but I still have 2 3'x3' plots and one 4'X4'
with nothing planted as yet.

Does anyone out there have any suggestions for what veggies will not only
provide food, but look nice while they are growing?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Lisa
