Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Laura McKenzie" <laurabrownmckenzie@worldnet.att.net>]

Wayne,  I had no trouble with growing spinach when I lived west of 
Albuquerque. I didn't grow it in the fall there though.  I did add lots and 
lots of organic matter in the form of composted brush (from my M-I-L's home 
in Corrales), leaves and grass clippings to those gardens. I started with 
ground that was nothing but pure sand and caliche about 24 inches below the 
sand. I never tested the pH there.

Don't you get pretty late frosts in the spring? We had frosts as late as 
Mother's Day where we lived. Your tomatoes are going to need a lot of sun 
for a long time.
