I hate you Allen!! I want some of the soil. I envy that good soil of yours.
Wish I could drive down and still some.<grin> Already tired of trying to dig
in my clay compacted soil. I have not been gardening for all that long and
did not realize that when i made my perennial flower borders that was the
time to amend my soil. So you live and learn. I think that you are primarly a
veggie guy, right? I grow just a few, am not a big veggie person like you and
George are but my husband is so I'm trying some radishes and carrots in a
container and the radishes look great. I know how much easier could I get
than that. I also bought some bush cukes to try in a container but not sure
when to start outside. It's to early yet in Z 5 i'm sure of that. Also am
going to try yellow squash. Maybe won't put that in a container. 2 questions
then, What do you think about trying the squash in a container? Itried mini
pumpkinks last year and I have a chain linked fence and it was my goal to
have to pumpkins train up it. Well it worked and it didn't. The only pumpkin
had grew in the fencing. Didn't catch it when it was small enough to do
something about so it grew around the chain link and I couldn't get that
puppy out of ther for anything. I was really disappointed. Okay next question
can I have the cukes and squash growing by each other or do they need to be
seperated?
TIA,
