7. Wherever I end up...

Not in permanent housing currently, I truly hope I can have a good sized garden. I'm making do with clay pots and a grape crate on my porch where I have an 18" pot with sugar snap peas right outside the door and two steps further I have a grape crate with my little lettuce garden with 8 rows of greens including spinach. The rest is a lot of morning glory and sweet peas in pots that will twine up the inside of the porch, some nasturtiums for cover along the building. Nasturtiums are edible but the deer won't eat them.

But I have ten tomato plants a double row - 8' - of red potatoes and a couple dozen onions in the ground at a friend's house. He let me use a 20' strip along the edge of the back yard.

We cook a meal on Sundays together just to make sure we have one nice meal a week, though we both cook and feed ourselves well enough individually, so this will be the summer garden that is available for both of us, he has to do the watering I deal with the weeds.

And it will have to do for this summer.
