You could drop about anything in that ground and it would grow. The main reason is our soil was crazy good. We had a worm farm (yes we raised worms) for years before we started gardening, and those bad boys can prep soil like no other! :) I do not have a garden now, and I really would like to. I live in Arizona and my yard is what you might call "rustic" IF you were being generous. It is pretty much rocks and dirt. I do have a couple of containers that I am growing basil and mint in. I hope to one day have a nice square foot garden. With a fence. :) Thanks for sharing your interview with Vanetta!<br />KellysShining(at)gmail(dot)com<br /><br />Bonus - I am a new follower on GFC <br /><br />Bonus - I also am a new follower on FB - Kelly BlackwellKelly Blackwell @ Heres My Take On Ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07580631316468681457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489682774042769094.post-70008551498674793292014-03-29T22:10:44.905-04:002014-03-29T22:10:44.905-04:00And I follow you via email.

I would love to win another of her books. I've never had a food garden, but helped with mother's garden while growing up. I have had a few small flower gardens, tho I don't have a green thumb for flowers like my mother. And not able to have gardens where I am. I did try to grow Tomatoes twice in pots on my porch with no luck. That's my favorite thing in a garden. And, have had some flower plants on my porch. That's it. I have had a bad back for so many years and now bad knees and just can't do some things like digging and planting. I have subscribed to your blog and liked you on Facebook.

My most enjoyment came from cleaning the veggies and fruit, shelling peas etc.<br /> My husband and I have a small garden out back. He bears the brunt of the work (and enjoyment). For some reason, it is very hard for me to be out in the summer heat. He mainly grows tomatoes to donate to the local food pantry.<br /><br />Martha<br />josieringer(at)gmail(dot)comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05146253065011193292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489682774042769094.post-70552636372222618752014-03-26T19:10:53.209-04:002014-03-26T19:10:53.209-04:00I love gardens, unfortunately I am not good at gar...I love gardens, unfortunately I am not good at gardening. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to win a copy of your book.<br />nancycooks4u(at)gmail(dot)comNancy Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489682774042769094.post-70906052620615941882014-03-26T16:45:12.538-04:002014-03-26T16:45:12.538-04:00Love to grow gardens.
