Kelly,

No it's not just your imagination about tomatoes. Canned tomatoes still offer flavor though.

Someone actually charges $9/lb for boneless chicken breasts??? Whew!! With that price you'd think they are going extinct. I shop the sales and only buy at regular prices when I have to. Our local private grocery that has been here forever has the best meat and the best meat sales in town. I rarely buy meat anywhere else. Their boneless chicken breasts were on sale last week for $1.69/lb. I'll be growing some veggies this year too.

Kay-Kay, Yes it's interplanting; you make a mound of dirt, flatten the top and plant corn, when the corn comes up, plant pole beans around the mound close to the top, (they will need to be trained up the corn in the beginning), when the beans come up, plant squash around the mound close to the bottom. The beans climb up the corn stalks and the squash spreads out and shades the ground and that keeps the weeds down. Just put three sisters in your search bar and several sites will come up with info.

MChamberlin, what is the "three sisters system?" Is it interplanting?

Looking forward to renewing my old 8x8 foot garden, plus several "hills" of tomatoes, cukes, squash, and pumpkins, which i have not done for several years now. I have been too ill in the last few years to be able to garden, now I'm too poor not to!

send the bill to Clinton or Obama and ask what they has to say about it. I doubt that you will get an intellgent answer.

It's people that buy the cheapest chicken that has to travel over thousand of miles while also driving to the grocery store, not reusing bags that are causing all the food (o, & gas) prices to rise. Maybe buying organic and supporting local farmers wouldn't be such a bad idea on your health and the wallet. Going on supporting big chains like Wal-mart and their monopolistic ways of draining their suppliers of money by buying extremely cheap will never help in the LONG RUN! But then again getting people off the instant gratification kick (i.e. buying wuts cheapest) and to actually think about the long run is probably the biggest obstacle.

Local farmers' markets are a great way to get fresh produce at a great price. This year we are going to go back to having a big garden and can all of our own vegetables and tomatoes. We are going to do a no-till garden for plants and use the 3 sisters system for corn, pole beans and squash.
