I had great success with yukon golds a few years ago that I planted in a previous tomato bed.  I got the seed potatoes from Logans and they were great.  And I&#39;m not even a very good gardener.  <br><br>I think this list is going to be a great resource for me this year.  I wasn&#39;t going to plant anything this year, but a friend from Oakwood asked if she could plant a few things and make it a joint effort and now both by 8x8 raised beds are full with zucchini, squash, beans, broccoli and corn.  <br>
<br>I&#39;m sure I&#39;ll be posting lots of questions for all you well-seasoned gardeners.<br><br>Molly Brewer<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, May 15, 2011 at 11:00 PM, Vanessa Van Horn <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:vanhorn.vanessa@gmail.com">vanhorn.vanessa@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

This winter I was inspired by Alys Fowler&#39;s BBC show, The Edible Garden. She used grass clippings instead of soil to mound over the leaves as they grew and planted fingerlings in pots.<br>

Thanks a bunch,<br>
