Encouragement (Was: > Greetings)

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

Aw, gee, thanks, Peg. A word of encouragement is mighty welcome about now.
And I wouldn't mind the defeats or mistakes IF I could figure out for sure
what went wrong so they WERE learning experiences. I've got a few *mystery
errors* and they're both no fun, and not all that helpful.

But I think you're right, about getting there eventually. I know I  do love
it when it goes well, or sometimes when it's just nothing going wrong. It
was such a thrill, for instance, getting all those tomatoes this summer --
enough to can, several different times. It was a thrill getting those bell
peppers from the garden. There'll be other thrills. I'm sure.

I've decided to practice starting some seeds NOW. I can't afford to wait
until mid-Feb and *maybe* get lucky or (less likely) what I'm doing. I
figure I'll start cool weather things, and since we're supposed to have a
mild winter, perhaps some of them will do okay if we rig up a cold frame
before we plant them out. Wish me luck! 

Thanks again, Peg.

Patricia
