My gardening isn't what it used to be, between working full time (unemployeed right now) and getting older, gardening can be hard on the old joints sometimes. Also for the last 6 years we have a different house that isn't suited for a veggie gardening, I'm starting to miss it now in Feb as I wait for Spring.

I watch the ads on tv about the upsidedown tomato plants and want one. Or two or three, but at $20.00 each, I think not. I'm going to try to make my own upsidedown plant pot, out of vinyl or plastic or some other material and just hang it upside down - it may work. This time of year I really do think about how I can rework my yard to have a few veggies inbetween the flowers and shrubs.

My daughter has 3 or 4? raised beds which have worked out really well. Her plan is to have 6 total, but one thing at a time. Her hubby has an issue with "buying dirt"! Oh, well. He is very willing to do the all the hard work of building the frames for the raised beds and hauling and putting the dirt in, and tilling it etc. Having to actually buy DIRT is something his left brain just has a hard time with.

She grows so many really good things, like raspberries. She made jams for Chrsitmas gifts this year. She wants to put in a few fruit trees over the next few years too.

I'm imagining how my lavender plants smell just now.
