I used a raised bed too since I came across the Square-Foot Gardening method. I've already harvested some string beans and squash for the pinakbet and even shared some with my office mates. It's nice to know where you're food is coming from. hehehe I’ve got myself a little garden in my backyard. I used a raised bed too since I came across the Square-Foot Gardening method.

I am from Catanduanes, municipality of San Andres. I, too, love gardening (my husband also), but we are more on the landscaping side right now. I am planning to have a small vegetable garden this year. We live in Florida, so we have the sub-tropical weather here and we are able to plant bananas, papaya, malungay, pineapple, kalamansi, coconut, mango, etc. You guys need to move to sunny Florida, you can garden all year round Steve! I salute you Steve for your great gardening skills! We moved to the Orlando area a year ago from the panhandle of FL, and the climate here during winter is warmer than the panhandle, so our banana and papaya plants are able to produce fruits and ripen. My horticulture 101 I took in college has been helpful! God bless! Please feel free to email me anytime. It's great to connect with fellow Catandunganon!

It just proves that an ordinary person by working as hard as he can and by careful planning and draining his savings account can lick those wiley pocket gophers, that is, if that person doesn't give up first.

Congratulations on the remarkable gardening techniques. I know you didn't like the pocket gopher at all (for good reason) but that part is hilarious. You're right, just like in the cartoon. By the way, I admire your love of gardening. I've seen wonderful pics of it in this blog. It reminds me of what I saw in the desert here in Chile, men gardening over 3000 meters high (I think that' close to 10,000 feet). Unlike you, they don't seem to have problems with animals but they do have to wrestle with the winds all the time. Oh wow! Congratulations on the remarkable gardening techniques.
