Hi Denise
I’m all for ‘recession’ tips and although the worst hasn’t struck us yet, decided this year to grow my own. I concentrated on salad greens, tomatoes, capsicums, chillies and herbs only as I live very close to market gardens offering fruit and vegetables at cheaper prices than supermarkets. It’s been satisfying, fun – and very productive! The vege patch was a base of weedmatting on top of which was a layer of compost and potting mix. At the end of the season, the soil is cleared of weeds (yes, they do happen). The next spring, I add a few more bags of soil and compost. The seedlings are around $NZ2 a tray and its money well spent!
Hey – love the addition of my pic of the kahikatea seeds on your free seeds section. At this time of year, its like a Christmas tree with millions of little colourful lights.
Cheers from New Zealand
Sandy

Hi Chris,
This is fine and yes, feel free to run any of my blogs. I have a few on Kinzua and the conewango creek and several more about the russell/warren area coming up.
I’m glad you are enjoying the blog. This area is so rich in history, I actually have an old idian trail that runs the back of my property. Denise

OK! I figured out how to post the titles (with links) of your most recent blogs. The feature appears in the left hand sidebar of http://conewangoavenue.typepad.com/alleghenyalmanac/

Let me know if this is OK. Any chance I could run some of your blogs as part of my blog? I would need your permission of course. Each one would have a link directly to Gardener’s Rake.

Let me know what you think and keep writing!

I’ve been enjoying your blog for some time now and just wanted to say thanks for brightening up the internet. I also write a blog at http://conewangoavenue.typepad.com/alleghenyalmanac/ and would enjoy incorporating some of your work in it too as the blog is about the Warren, Pennsylvania area. Any ideas?

I agree with you, gardening can be hard on the back. Thats why I do a lot of raised beds and wall gardens.

Thank you for your kind remarks and I enjoy your site also! Denise

Good luck and life to you. Continue it’s a pleasure for me to read from you, and like Mike said I will become an expert in gardening!! ))
