Gwen, that's an impressive planting plan! I love the idea of your filling the acre without spending much on it -- that's really cool. Anita, that is true...the only thing worse than not having a garden at all is having one that is being eaten down by earwigs. Gaah. Ree, fingers crossed! Chiot's Run, you're absolutely right -- I have GREAT farmer's markets here. Kalyn, it’s true…choosing one thing always means not choosing another!

Ree, fingers crossed!

Chiot’s Run, you’re absolutely right — I have GREAT farmer’s markets here.

You'll just have to garden vicariously through others. At least you can get fresh local food at a local farmer's market and you don't have to resort to grocery store produce.

Yesterday, the hottest day yet, David and I dug up 3 azaleas that a friend I met thru gardening is donating to my "fill in a naked acre with no money" project ( this is year 2 ). Today my friend Maria, my garden coach, and I are going to a large nursery and she's buying us a magnolia tree for our wedding present. Then we'll plant that and the other six trees/shrubs that I got at the Horticulture Society ( to which I BELONG ) sale! I will confess I bought 5 herbs, 6 basil seedlings, 1 heirloom tomato and 4 banana pepper plants yesterday at the farmer's market ( David handles the food garden). Nothing like walking outside and yanking something off a plant to eat! Travel would be a fab substitute. I know what you mean: but with non-edible gardens.

I can't imagine not being able to have a garden, but I confess that when I read on Twitter about your socializing and flying around the country, that sounds like a fun life too! How to have it all, that's the dilemma for each of us isn't it? I do feel your pain!
