I've always wondered...
why they can put a man on the moon, but they can't get those sliding locks on the doors of bathroom stalls to meet together right...

Square Foot Garden
Today my mother and I constructed more boxes for our Square Foot Garden. We're planning to have 6 4'x4' grids (squash, okra, tomatoes, peas, beans, cantaloupes, and all kinds of things), 1 4'x8' grid (for corn), a 4'x2' grid (for strawberries) and 1 2'x9' grid (for watermelons). We also have a grape vine growing, and are planning to plant carrots, potatoes, pumpkins, and gourds in a separate part of the yard. We also planted some seeds to start indoors. For those of you who don't know, a square foot garden is planted in square feet (imagine!) instead of long rows. It's supposed to take 20% of the space of a conventional garden, but give 100% of the results. This is our first year, but I think it will work well. It fits my personality, because I can grid things out and have them exact! I can already taste the yummy fruits and veggies!
