Found this old thread and your diary. I’m surprised there is not a regular gardening topic. I’ve gardened since I was 6 and I’m 74 now. I wonder how many tons of compost I have made and how many acres of soil I have spaded. Just today I spaded a 12 X 16 patch for the garlic that gets planted in Oct. I have cut it down to 7 different varieties.

I live and garden in Eureka Ca where it never snows and hardly freezes but rains for 5 winter months and the average summer temp is 65 by day and 58 nights.

Wow, a 12 X 16 garlic patch? That should keep the vampires miles away. ;’)

I share your wonder that there isn’t a regular gardening topic (apart from this one) since there are obviously gardeners here on FR. I think I posted my prototype for a Cooking and Gardening ping list logo / message somewhere up there. If you start a ping list, let me know. :’)
