I'm taking your current veggie garden design series and just wanted to say thank you so much for teaching it!!! Going to class is the high point of my week, and I leave feeling so excited and invigorated! I can't believe how much I've learned in such a short period of time and how this new found knowledge causes me to look at the landscape in a whole new way. A big thanks for spending your Saturdays empowering others to grow their own food! :)

Another question about the African squash...how do I know when one is ripe?

Remember what you said about trellissing and shading stone? I had a welder friend of mine make some brackets to hold my wooden trellis 1 ft away from the cinder block walls and they only cost me $6.25 ea to make! I will take a picture and send it along presently.

Wow! I can't believe I am learning so much at this tender old age of 45. New things I have learned in the last two weeks: Seasonally change the height of my mower (which I refer to as 'mulch harvesting' :-), I don't need a rooster to get eggs from chickens, and now this. I am pickled tink!

Remember the guy who came into your class with the big African squash and handed out seeds? I planted mine and now have a humongous squash plant that is starting to produce fruit. I was wondering if they have male and female flowers on the plant as all the flowers do not produce fruit.

Hi Heather,
Thanks again for the help. I will email Jennifer. Also, the pdf section of your web page doesn't have anything yet.
Thanks.

For all the Designing a Veggie Garden Class: The companion planting calendar I mention is available by the link: http://attra.ncat.org/attra-pub/complant.html#chart
It is very well thought out and should be a great help!

Hi Heather,
I just took your four part class and you mentioned last week that there was a guide to companion planting that would be posted. Can you tell me where to find it on the site?

Thanks, Fred

Hey Jezebel - er, Heather, I love your pic!! Obviously taken recently!

"Could you open a section and "herd" them that way? You would need a large group to convince the bunnies to move where you want them. Check for holes in the fence or under, since they got in some how. Gophers will start to be a problem too this time…"

"I wonder if it's something the AZ humane society would be willing and able to loan you. They have humane traps for the spay and return program they run for cats. If you can't find someone here who has them to loan out it might be worth a try.

Hi All! We appear to have two bunnies who have managed to get themselves inside the 'protective' fencing surrounding the school garden at Mesa Community College. My poor students have had to watch their winter transplants nibbled down literally…
