The few planting seasons of a garden I've ever enjoyed were when I lived in Montana.

Rented a farm-hands house... the young lady I was sweet on asked the farmer to plow up a patch for us off one side of the house. He wouldn't take any money for his time but he called on me one day a week or so later to help bring in some cows that'd gotten through a fence.

The plow left huge clumps of soil... we spent a lot'ta time breaking them up. Weeds were a problem every year.

The house came with a wood shed, splitting malls and a chain saw to fill the old classic pot belled stove... the farms wood lot was ours to navigate too for wood.... <smile>

For years I lived off that garden, fish from the rivers, ducks and venison all stored in the rented freezer lockers.

That was the same time I got to know Michael Crichton.

Maybe if I'd talked to those plants the right way... they'd have grown better and not the grasses and weeds

Then I moved into the cities and tared parking lots... I look forward to moving back into the country and growing beans with good well water. Pole beans, peas, limas, brussels, squash, lettuces of all kinds, few tomatoes and herbs
