>Hi.
>
>I got home from a Cub Scout meeting last night and found a package from P&P
>Seeds sitting on the kitchen table. My seeds have arrived! Now, I gotta do
>something with them. I've been growing field pumpkins and zucchini for years
>but I find this uniquely nerve-wracking. I've never grown AGs before and I
>find that I want to do it right.
>
>A flood of questions came to mind. Things I didn't care about before have
>become important. Do I plant the seed pointy-end up or down? What is this
>seed sanding I've seen mentioned? How do I keep the deer away? How do I keep
>the neighbors away? Should I sprinkle, soak or provide underground
>irrigation?
>
>I have a neighbor who is reasonably successful with AGs and, while I have no
>illusions of competing with him this year, I want to give him a good run in
>the coming seasons. I have plenty of space and water -- I just need some
>experience and advice.
>
>For the first time in years, I am actually excited about the garden!
