I added a new book to my collection of gardening books this season, How to Grow More Vegetables Than You Ever Though Possible on Less Land Than You Can Imagine, by John Jeavons.  I am experimenting with the theory and I must say it bears truth.  I am amazed how our garden is growing and producing with less watering, weeding, and maintenance.  If you could only purchase one book for your collection, I would put this one at the top.  It is well worth the expense.  Spend some time this winter studying this book and you will be ready for next spring. I spent an extensive amount of time reviewing the brilliant section on planning a four person family food garden, 1302 square feet with a six month growing season.  

I spent some quality time in my garden this evening observing, listening, and embracing the brief moments of a cool breeze.  The last few weeks have been very hot and humid.  It's not been the kind of weather that would make you want to stay outside for long.  Tonight was a different story.   Absolutely beautiful weather and a brilliant sunset.   I was pleasantly surprised to find exciting activity in the garden tonight.   I will let the pictures tell the story.
