DO YOU GARDEN? I am researching a book called "My Very First Garden" (about edible gardening... fruits, vegetables, herbs, etc.) and need your true stories! Do you have a good (or even bad!) memory about the first garden you ever did? Was it inside in pots, outside when you were a kid, or in a community garden? Did you harvest anything or did the rabbits get it all? Please submit your short but true story to vikkibooks at yahoo dot com by April 27 2010. Your submission implies your consent to use your story and the possibility of (minor) editing. Thanks!

7/10: A Scorcher

Today, Denver got up to 101 degrees. Here in Thornton, a suburb of Denver, it may have been one degree less. Our top floor thermostat read 96 at its highest - we can't seem to cool it down even with two fans, a swamp cooler and a ceiling fan plus all of the windows covered with multiple layers. Our main floor was up to 92 degrees - with two fans and a ceiling fan. Even tho I watered the garden yesterday, everything seemed to be wilting by the time I looked at 3 p.m.

Internet wasn't working on my computer today so I worked on my writing, and planning for our next house. We're hoping to build our dream home - looking for a green home builder. Solar panels. Wind turbines. Renewable resources. Vikki
