She out grows me every year but to her the garden is more than a hobby, is a tradition.<BR/>I hope I make gardening a tradition as well. So far, I am the only one who gardens consistently (besides my mom) in a family of 8 siblings.<BR/>I am glad that your grandmother passed the passion for growing things on to you.<BR/>I read your posts on the pH tests. I bought one of those kits last year when I was planting my Blueberries but I never used it. Now I am glad I did not waste my time.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07045659037010138375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6438582877200552040.post-32683983760394412402009-03-10T23:42:00.000-05:002009-03-10T23:42:00.000-05:00David, I've found that a lot of the tools that are...David, I've found that a lot of the <A HREF="http://garden.katzke.net/2009/02/home-soil-testing-review-part-1/" REL="nofollow">tools that are supposed to make things more accurate</A> do exactly the opposite, and may be misleading. <BR/><BR/>What I keep falling back on are the things that my great-grandmother taught my mother. Care for the soil, and it will care for your plants. Allow space for mistakes. Even if you end up with extra, you can always find something to do with it. Plant some flowers with the garden so that you attract good bugs. Great-Grandma Hrica was way ahead of her time, and her wise knowledge has served my family well for the past hundred years.Karl Katzkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15657143496506662902noreply@blogger.com
