Half the joy is clever use of available space. You'll really enjoy the products of your endeavors!

I had a raised-bed in town. Now that I'm out in the boonies, I've got a bit more room. So far I've got about 1/3 of my kitchen garden in, starting from the side next to the woods. At the far end, there are heirloom greasy cut-short beans, then a patch of black beans, then spaghetti squash and watermelons. The trellis to the right has kiwi fruit vines. In a couple of months the trellis will be greened-over.

One of my female kiwis bloomed last year, so I'm hoping this year the male will bloom. Can't wait to taste kiwi fruit, sun-ripened fresh from the vine!

Well, way to go Skinner! Denninmi Mar 2012 #1
