| I went to a class recently that taught us how to use recycles to make verticle gardens. Thye save alot of space and water. Most of them used a wooden post with feet on the bottom. One used 2 liter bottles upside down with the bottom cut off. They used drip irrigation to water it. Another used big tin cans with holes poked in the bottom. The funniest ones were multi colored boots nailed to a wall with drainage holes poked in them or the old pair of jeans filled with soil hanging from a strong clothesline. The imagination is unlimited what you can use for containers. Another was a pallet sitting on end with a wire screen on it. You poked hole where you wanted to put a plant. |

We had so much cucumber last year, 6 of my neighbors got a basket each. we pickled 100 jars. Then I too about 200 in my truck to the local soup kitchen. |

| Wow! That's alot of cukes! How do you make your pickles? I got alot of great seeds in the secret santa swap on the round robin exchange. Unbelievable how many cukes I got. We had cuke sandwiches tonight. Nummy! 1 cuke on a small slice of party bread with some sort of rich white spread between the bread and the cuke. I got white, blonde, muncher cukes and others. It was so much fun! |
