Hey Steve.....Well, this is the first year, "since", that I've done any gardening. Had totally lost interest in everything the whole time I was in the 'deep end of the pool'.......Tried to keep my hands in the dirt, but just couldn't focus long enough at the time on ANYTHING. Done a LITTLE composting but not like I used to. The spring, "after", I put in two raised beds right off the patio so it would be closer to a water supply and for the last two years did the "on the dirt composting" in them. Got yeller onions, Georgia Collards, Cherokee Purple tomatoes (from the seeds you guys sent me in 2010....I couldn't believe they were still viable, but super glad they were), Crooked Neck squash and ONE Bell Pepper plant (had put out 4, but an unexpected frost came and....well, you know) in one of them. I really think I may be able to see it thru, this year.....that's the plan, anyway.
