As for the outdoor gardening, time is a factor and so are the vines constantly intruding from neighbors' properties. At one time I had it under control, but it's gotten away from me and I can't seem to rein it in! It would help if they kept their overgrowth under control! The bittersweet is choking out even the tallest trees!<BR/><BR/>And there's all that art pulling on me...taking up my time<BR/><BR/>But fresh lettuce would be a treat. The produce which we've had from a friend's organic garden has been out of this world!Lynda Lehmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914824862008453219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090919024696057090.post-87578521121135855602007-10-19T08:25:00.000-07:002007-10-19T08:25:00.000-07:00You are so very welcome, Lynda. What kind words.....You are so very welcome, Lynda. What kind words... I am deeply touched. And no one as creative or in touch with nature as you are is truly "gardening-challenged". You just have to approach gardening the same way you approach your art--don't look at the big picture but take it a bit at a time. Next spring, start out small with a simple terra cotta pot at least 1 foot in diameter, some good soil (like Miracle-Gro for veggies), and 4 seedlings of 4 different varieties of lettuce from a local nursery. Ask the nursery pros to give you a demo on how to transplant seedlings into soil (they love doing that). Go home and do what you saw them do. Put the pot in a location that gets at least 6 hours of sun a day. Every day stick your finger in the dirt. If the soil is dry to the touch, put about 16 oz. of water from the tap in it (using a water bottle makes it easy). In a couple of weeks, begin to snip off leaves every time you want a salad. The lettuce keeps growing even though you snip the leaves off. You can have salads for an entire spring that way! It's that easy.
