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

Hi, Cheri!  You're going to love this!!  Mel is my hero!  In his
later articles, he uses raised beds, but in his book, he is
emphasizing how to garden simply and with ease, a cup of water, a trowel, and a
packet of seeds.  Where you go from
there is unlimited using your imagination!  I'm in my 8th sqft
gardening year and still make mistakes and have wonderful
successes, the important thing is to be in the garden - I can feel the enerby
flowing off the plants and into me.  The "work" should be the smallest part of your
garden.  I started wth
one square, I have 4 now and lots of "along-the-fence" squares.
Mel is my hero, I sure wish he'd check us out!  I'd love to ask
him questions first-hand!  Farmer Brown, if you're reading this,
are you still working on him to do a chat with us?  Maybe if
we petitioned him . . .  I know he's busy with schools, though,
and traveling!

Good luck to all of us this season in our gardens!
