I think I have blogger brain. I can’t have writer’s block because I’m not a writer.
In other news — I have almost completed my garden planning for 2008. It consists mostly of rough sketches of the garden, ideas for what to plant where, and a list of what I want to plant that I need to build beds for.

Scan the sketches - we’d love to see them!
I’ve been working on my sketch for my yard today - I just have a little suburban yard so no orchard in my future.
But I’ll have to study what you’ve done - it could help with placement of the potatoes, pumpkins and such. Looks awesome!
There’s an absolutely excellent book on setting up a garden and getting the most out of it, called “Backyard Self-sufficiency” by Jackie French. I strongly recommend it. Not ony does she go over how to get the most out of your space, but she also talks about how to build layers in your garden and mimic a forest, how to use fences, trellises etc., and even includes a whole stack of great recipes to use your produce once you’ve grown it.
It’s available at Amazon and she also has a website. I find the book invaluable.
I don’t recommend many books, but I do this one!
