Comment by John Dilbeck on May 14, 2011 at 6:01pm Tipper, I'll be taking photos as I grow stuff in the earth boxes. I have everything I need to plant them, but I gotta wait until I can get help getting the bags of potting soil out of my car. A nice young man at the store loaded them into the car for me.
I'm going to try my hand at growing herbs for the first time ever, this year.
Good luck with those tomatoes and apple trees. Mom and Pop never did too well with fruit trees around here, but they almost always had good blueberry and strawberry harvests. I want to plant some blueberries next year.
Not only do apple trees make something that tastes really good (especially when cooked into applesauce or apple butter), but the wood from the trees (when you prune them) makes a nice fire. Smells good and burns with different colors.

Comment by John Dilbeck on May 14, 2011 at 11:23am I got some herbs and tomato plants today at the farmers market. I'm going to try growing them in some home-made "Earth Boxes" this year.
I'm thinking of trying some upside-down gardening with squash, just for fun.
How's your garden coming along this year?
