This is going to be a place to refer friends to tell them about my gardening. I discovered Dick Raymond's wide row gardening in the 70's. In the 80's I discovered Mel Bartholomew's Square Foot gardening. In the late 90's I moved into a campground with a small 6x16 cement patio. I mixed the ideas from Raymond and Bartholomew's ideas with some container gardening tips I picked up from a British book. Since then I have experimented with a ton of variations and lots of friends ask for more ideas each year. I grow cucumbers, tomatoes and strawberries in hanging baskets and lots of potting flats for shallow growers.
I was going to put my onions, carrots and some lettuce out today but I was sore from all the weedeating yesterday and then the rain came in so I happily dove in the bed. As soon as I drifted off the phone started with friends, people trying to sell me stuff and a call for me to work tomorrow. So I am off to grab a shower and will try again Friday:)
About Me
- villager223
- I am 61 and have run into problems with my health the last few years. I have nerve damage on one side, respiratory problems and several other things that limit my ability to get about. I purchased a small piece of land near the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and am now working on making it home sweet home. I have 2 dogs and a cat that I keep up with. I also try to do some container gardening, writing, making and selling crafts. Crafts, movies, music and books have always been my favorite things. I love to watch movies while crocheting or sewing. I am also giving away the tons of books I have collected and read over the years. I sell some things on Ebay and books on Amazon as villagecraftsmith but not doing so good with all the penny books out there. I also have a webstore http://villagecraftsmith.ecrater.com/ where I sell my crafts but I have been too ill to create much the last two years.
