Yes, Barbara! PM me anything you have that you think will help with storage, gardening, all of it! I know nothing and am starting from scratch.
The biggest thing from my lawn and garden forum was to start small, too.:smile:
Sorry, Katie if this is straying off topic.
If anybody has any info pertaining to beginning gardening all the way to storing what I grow, send me a PM. I appreciate it.:smile:
If your space is limited, I strongly recommend looking into Square Foot Gardening - you can find the book anywhere from Lowes, Amazon, Barnes & Nobels, etc... It is based on maximizing the amount of space devoted to a veggie garden by using a specific soil/ammendments in which to grow your crops. Neat, clean, etc... I used it this past year for the first time and found it helpful for the crops such as lettuces, onions, carrots, spinach, etc... anything which kept a rather "compact" growth habit. Not so great for the crawling/climbing varieties, but I did not provide structures on which they could climb, due to making a cover to keep the deer/bunnies out.
I'll send a few sites tomorrow. Heading to bed. You west coast folks are on your own.
The Movie on Temple Grandin is absolutely wonderful and especially notable because she is a Prof at Colorado State where Betty L. and I graduated from in 1981! She is noted for changing the makeup of slaughter houses for cattle making it a lower stress environment for the animals that go to slaughter. In my studies, I took several meat classes and we were required to butcher live animals (I hated the killing part). Wish I had known about her then.
The movie is available fairly inexpensive on ebay and should be available to rent thru someplace like Netflix if anyone is interested.
I own and have used every book here extensively ( I've even reviewed them on Amazon.com, along with a few hundred other books ) and I can vouch for their accuracy.
