I forgot to mention that a few weeks back I threw some vine type kentucky green bean seeds in some compost. A few grew (and a couple of cucumbwers , too). I transplanted the small bean plants (maybe 6 " with 2-3 leaves each. To sunnier spots. I know they are not winter plants, but what the h*ll, this is phoenix, you never know...........bobford
p.s. My wife is planting sweetpeas and other winter coloir plants today. Flowers are also nice............bf

Date: Sunday, November 16, 2008, 10:04 AM Well, I just finished planting my wineter garden. I just dug long shallow renches in the
tilled, steer-maured soil and broadcast maybe a couple of thousand
seeds so small I could barely see. The packages said to plant 3 seeds per inch, on most packets. They seeds were too blasted small
for me to pick up and count.
I just did the best I could. I also planted about thirty (greens) plnts from four-packs from the nursey. All I planted, seeds and plants were greens , (except one seed pack and two live plant brocolli)mustards, collards, spinch, turnips, deluxe salad, oh she did get one pack of hot pepper seeds, I just kind of threw thim in amongst -- we will see...
I'm sweaty and smell slightly of composted steer manure. The same smell my dog has now, daily, since I fertilized the garden plot. She rolls and rolls in the stuff -- stupid dog ............bobford
