HA! remember the photo I posted of the lush tomato plant in Kona growing next to the chem toilet?

lush I say. growing in the gravel too and probably totally neglected. we must baby ours too much!

Bill brought his cousin, the bricklayer, up this summer and finishe the other 2 beds.now painted

brown too and filled with dirt/manure, ready for a winter sleep. we'll plant all 3 beds next spring. it's a little confusing, but there is an aisle right next to the left original bed, then a garden bed, then another aisle and another garden bed on the very right, with a bed all along the back side. with the dirt in it now it's not confusing, but of course I didn't take a picture yet. bonus plantings in the block holes! herbs and viney things and flowers! we found square plastic pots that fit in because we don't want dirt/water to remain in those holes for the winter and freeze/crack. Bill bought cedar planks to cover them for the winter---and pet worms too.

Aw, Joe, you have reminded me of my aunt Clarice! She & I would go out every spring and

we would dig dandelion greens--she would wilt & freeze them. I was just 10 or 12 years old. They were really good, and I haven't gathered any in years.
