http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/15/opinion/15sun4.html?ref=opinion Use this link to see some more links to gardening information. THE VERY BEST BOOK ON GARDENING I HAVE EVER FOUND IS: THE JOY OF GARDENING by Dick Raymond. BUY IT and you will never need another book on gardening again. Use this Amazon link to get it for $8 used: http://www.amazon.com/Joy-Gardening-Garden-Way-Book/dp/0882663194 or Google the title and find other sources. You will value it and protect it like the family Bible. You can have a garden no matter what size space you have. You can have a garden in pots on a movable platform that you can move to the sunny areas of a tight space just by putting the post on a large flat platform on wheels or an old flat bed trailer which you can make from scrap. Don't forget that you can grow indoors using GROW LIGHTS...the pot growers have been doing it for years. Eat what you grow while it's fresh, then FREEZE the left overs in vacuum packed bags using a Tilia system. OR, learn to CAN foods...it's so darn simple and enjoyable you will go crazy when you taste some of the things you make...even the mistakes. Just don't kill yourself by not heating the product enough. Error on the side of CLEANLINESS and HEAT SANITIZING (boiling).
