Just notes

Hi,

Sorry we have been away for a bit. Life has come at us full force. Anyways here is some notes we wrote down while scanning threw some books. Enjoy and tell us what you know!

From BH&G Step-By-Step Successful Gardening Vegetables ISBN: 0696025558

For a carefree crop of onions plant the sets in a wide row or block and cover immediately with a 3 inch layer of much. Onions will grow right up through a mulch, but most weeds will not.

Use string to divide the planting area into a grid of squares so that you can position plants the same distance apart in all directions.

Plants that are edible: pansies, borage blossoms, chrysanthemum, nasturtium, sunflowers.

IF you want to make a regular practice of saving your own seeds, its best to start with varieties marked heirloom or open pollinated. These varieties come true from year to year and often have out standing flavor.
