Re: Advice on setting up first square foot garden

I enjoyed your post! (Joshua)
 Tho I have 150 acres to row crop or field plant, I still enjoy my
little kitchen beds the most.  I planted fig trees in 'islands' around
the yard, and am moving outward from them with herbs and edible
flowers.  I find that pocket gardening techniques works best for me
because I'm not so inclined to go crawl up on the tractor for a day of
disking, as I am to sit on a wall, listen to music and weed a scraggly
vegetable bed.

We have a variety of native fruits here, and I'm preparing beds this
fall to accept native persimmons and little plum trees.  I plan to graft
some other species onto those, in hopes the natural acclimation and
self-dwarfing nature of our natives will cause the top growth to be more
desirable in that manner.  Any thoughts on this? Does anyone work with
grafted grapes?
