Listen, You!

I’m finding my life goes along MUCH more smoothly if I just face REALITY when it’s smacking me upside the head, LOL!

(Read my new tag line...)

[who knows what evil?]

I believe that if I hold my breath until I turn blue that it won’t snow...so far, so good...and the 10-day forecast seems to be holding in my favor.

Well. Just when I achieve garden Nirvana in my new place (hauled in tons of dirt, wood, rr ties etc) got it built, planted for the winter including expensive bulbs (broccoli, brussels sprouts, peas, spinach already 2' high, everything going gangbusters), the property owner decides to move me in to the 1920's limestone cabin also on the property.

It was a ranchhand's cabin when this was a cattle ranch along the Colorado river. Killer fireplace, we're adding a bath and kitchen, it is truly going to be awesome, all slate flooring and antique wood. Also has a 10' palm outside the new bathroom door which will be a private deck.

Crying shame: whoever takes over the cabin I'm moving out of inherits all the gardening I built and grew, and there ain't a whole lot of room at the new cottage. SO.....

Vertical gardening is my future, for the vegetables, anyway. I can see it working, and really a solid hydroponic project could be tested. The verticals will serve as visual and sound barriers, as now I'm closer than I'd like to be to the 'big house'.

Anybody have any advice for going vertical?
