Xentar, yes I will definitely be doing some vertical gardening, in fact, at the northenmost end of the garden, right past the patio area, I'm going to put up 6 ft high trellises of beans and cucumbers to shade the patio, which is in full sun all day, which really makes it hard to enjoy. The sun comes from the South, so that tall trellis won't shade anything important. I'll have other trellises against the wall that gets all the afternoon sun, probably beans, since they do well with less direct sunlight. I can plant pole beans with bush beans at the bottom in 2 feet of space. That's a lot of beans! I'm also going to trellis tomatoes and squash to save space. I trellised tomatoes all the time in SC -- just put up a strip of hog wire and tied them right up. They did so well like that, and I was able to grow a lot of radishes in front of them. In the summer, I'll replace the cucumbers and beans with malabar spinach and lima beans, or I may grow sweet potatoes and trellis their vines to use the leaves too. I've seen people do that on YouTube. On the shady west side, I'm thinking of putting up those PVC growing towers for lettuce, if I can get someone to help me build them. I want to eventually plant berries on the sunny wall, but that's a future dream. Of course, none of this will be started until fall, because I have too much to do until then to get things ready. My courtyard is a disaster right now, and I don't have time to do anything about it, so I'll be torturing myself this summer trying to get it done.

I'm enjoying it too Glenda and Steve Harvey is sooo good with them.

Those twins (and their siblings) were really good. Mia, the singer from Croatia, was fantastic! I hope she gets a recording contract. (She is really pretty, too.)

I'm amazed every time I watch!!!!!!!!! Truck pulling, kids riding motorcycles.....it all puts them in harms way. It's also not a " high IQ talent" or "god given" talent, ie: an operatic voice, more of a time filler. JMHO If it was just kids being cute....I'd think it was fine. So....I see your point. Remember the little girl with the pet duck? Not a talent...but soooooooooooo cute!!!!
