I can remember putting bags on our feet in order to be able to get our shoes in our boots!

Bread bags!! We always saved the bread bags to put in our boots to keep our socks dry. I'd forgotten that!!!
Your kids and your pup are all beautiful. My uncle had a yellow lab named Sugar Bear. There's another sweet memory you brought for me! :D

Let's do this contest! We'll have to measure the square foot of our gardens to be fair, because everyone won't have the same footage. I say we make it small enough for those doing container gardens to be included too. Like 10x10, maybe even just 5x5 for our city dwellers, or whatever. For those who do huge gardens we'll just have to hold ya to the honor system to not slip extra in the production :lol: We need to make up rules for the contest.

I say:
1) Limit on the space.
2) Can grow anything you want, just has to be weighed in and share your technique as technique can make a container garden produce LOADS even. This will make planning a huge deal for the ammount of space we decide on and actually give those city dwellers a bit of advantage I think. ;)
3) Pics are a MUST because we all wanna :drool over the pretty results :D

Any additions to the rules? What size space for the limit to be all inclusive of those who want to participate? Do you think we need a time limit too in the Fall to even out the Southern versus Northern gardens? I need input!!! :D
what have I done? :hide

I think to be fair and to get every one involved. We might start out by stating what our plan/goal is, something like canning 5 bushels of tomatoes or 40 quarts of green beans, something like that to be used as the comparison. That way when even with the shorter growing season up here and the other constraints, ya'll won't be :hit when you see my pantry in the fall! :plbb
