Last year I only tried tomatoes and herbs, and only the basil did well.<br /><br />On the students not available to debate, I think it was just scheduling conflicts. Most of us were working full time, studying law, and usually volunteering for politics on the side. So sometimes debates had to slide. I was already graduated, so I had a little more free time than most.Queen of Carrotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03193758647591339890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831804.post-1109305464586626952005-02-24T20:24:00.000-08:002005-02-24T20:24:00.000-08:00I got some of the carrots from the backyard garden...I got some of the carrots from the backyard garden the other day. With store-bought carrots, it takes a deliberate effort to chop them. With those five-minutes-out-of-the-ground carrots, it was like slicing a stick of butter.<br /><br />Amey: Think "container gardening". Alternatively, or in addition, keep working organic material into your garden's soil as and when you can. After a few years, you should have a rich, deep bed of soil. (Raised beds also help.)<br /><br />-- Bruce A.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293116210969876175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831804.post-1109260307103840892005-02-24T07:51:00.000-08:002005-02-24T07:51:00.000-08:00Hi QOC!

I tried growing them myself, but the clay around here makes it next to IMPOSSIBLE. I (meaning my husband) even added a ton of stuff to the soil to break it up. <br /><br />Here's a comment about you and your husband's first debate in law school: who were the law school students who backed out of debating you and are they actually practicing law now? Isn't that what law students do (other than reading and studying like crazy)? Debate? (I studied education myself, but that had always been my impression of law students)Ameyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03385637139572083508noreply@blogger.com
