Title: The Organic Dr's Garden
the
OrganicDr's
Garden
The garden is one of those places that we, as gardeners hold at an almost spiritual level. I know for myself, that the feel of the earth on my hands, the way steam rises off the compost heap in the winter and how rain water has that magical ability to brings seeds and plants to life. I need to be in my garden, it's my daily meditation and therapy. If you are an avid gardener or you have the desire to become one then my friend, this place is for you. I have built this cybergarden to be able to share information, techniques, methods, tricks of the trade and the way's grandma taught me. Over the years, friend's have asked for advice on particular situations with their gardens. I've always tired to give an alternative solution other than the toxic choices that are commercially produced. This is one of the places you can come to and find alternative solutions to your gardening situations. These home remedies and organic treatments are used in my garden season in and season out for over the last 20 years, most of them passed down to me by my grandmother, and they have never failed me. I hope that you find them useful and will pass them on to all of your gardening friends.

All plants with a red check are in the garden. Update: 03/28/97 Doubled plantings on all greens by interplanting. Companion plantings started. The garden veggies are all in the ground now! Except for cucumbers which will go in this coming week. As will some more of the herbs that are palnted every season. The layout for our family garden for this year, is one of function an partiality. It feeds our family year round as well as several of our neighbors-n-friends, shoot it's even been known to produce a few greenbacks in a good year.It's designed to produce the most in the least amount of space, using a raised bed made from rail road ties. I've also incorporated a gravity feed drip-irrigation system in order to help with evaporation against the hot Texas summer sun. The square foot high-intensive style that is used creates an environment the plants love and thrive in.
