Hi! I love your usage of the hillside. So smart! I have a very similar space in my backyard. Did you build these yourself or did you hire someone? I am in Cumming and would love to get the contact info of your builder if you went that route. Happy gardening!

What a lovely way to use your hill. I have a similar but smaller situation in my backyard. I would like to implement your idea on my small hill. Could you tell me what kind of material you used to build your terraces? Thanks.

I do a minimal amount of succession planting, but in his book Mel has a schedule for year round gardening.

Emily this is just what I was looking for. I was wondering if you had something similar for succession planting and crop rotation. I’m still learning and getting advice from people like you who have experience and are willing to share really helps. Thanks again

My husband and I are also paleo and love it! Once you get used to cooking paleo, it will actually be a faster way to cook. A few quick to cook meals we have are taco salad (minus the shell, of course), grilled chicken salad, or saute fish in butter. A very good and quick side is to saute chopped onion, sliced squash and sliced zucchinni in olive oil with a little pepper and butter. One of my favorite things for breakfast, other than bacon and eggs, is a fruit smoothie. I put ice, the juice of an orange, a banana, some pineapple and 2 big handfuls of spinach in a blender. My husband likes his with frozen blueberries, a banana, almond milk, and the spinach. You can’t taste the spinach at all! My kids love it! Good luck!

Pam, thanks for the info! I’ve seen both types of growth in my strawberries, it’s been a couple of years now, and the original spindly-looking plants you see in my pictures are now about 5 times as big and they’ve taken over a quarter of my garden (which is fine with me, as my 4 year old LOVES strawberries and I’ve yet to taste more than a bite of the smallest one because of her!). But, I think I may take your advice and move them to their own container this year or I may lose the entire garden to them. Do you know if they do well when transplanted, when I should transplant them, or if I should do anything special to the soil so I don’t lose them?

I love this idea! I am going to try it if my onions do that well!

Ellen, the best way is for you to find your color group and sign up for my newsletter. If you want to have all the planting dates at once, you can buy the e-book.

THAT is a great idea!!! Have you tried other things? We have a bunch of citrus right now…. lemons and oranges… wonder if they would work in a “leg” too?
