Oh so you meant one of those tiny houses like I see on TV when I watch Tiny House Hunters? Some are 200 square feet (or less). Of course some are much more.

Rita, I think your neighbors should let you grow in their yards.

Don't I wish!!!

Maybe if you told them you would have to cut some people off your "free tomatoes all summer" list unless you got more growing space ...

LOL -- funny because I just said to my husband, as we passed by the community garden area, that if I rented a spot (30' x 30') I could grow at least 50 tomato plants there.... but he just doesn't quite get my reasoning

I tried renting a space in our community garden several years ago. The spaces there were small though. Mine was probably only 4'x8'. I grew some nice vegetables but I found that the drive to the garden, though only a couple of miles, was simply too far for what I harvested. I only rented the space one year.

I would never garden if I had to drive to get to my plot. I like to walk out my door and walk over to my vegetables.

Oh I wanted to say that I received an e-mail that the seeds I ordered yesterday are already shipped. Fast service.

I did that the one time just to support our community garden in its first year.

NNNNOOOOOO! Never throw them out. There must be a garden club or somewhere to donate them. We have a caretaking home that encourages gardening and we donate our seeds to them. And our garden club.

But you could do a seed swap now that Dave has made it so easy!

Time for a new thread. Join us for the Winter and Spring discussions about our veggie gardens.
