Above you will find a diagram of the schematic for our garden. (I made it in AppleWorks and the original file has grid lines that make it easy to pinpoint exactly where each plant should be placed.) The plot is 4m x 9m. The sizes of the circles are based on the (within row) spacing suggested for each plant on its seed packet. Thus, this approximates the amount of space needed for each plant. (The zucchini and Brandywine circles are 90 cm, or about 3′.)

I hastily filled out my bracket for the Dial for Men Tourney before I had to run to catch a train to Florence (Italy, not S.Car.). Farmer E may want to make it actually show up and to rotate it properly.
Now that everyone’s in camp (with one excused absence), here’s the Frenchie’s-eye view of the way the Sox look heading into grapefruit season. Lotta turnover from last year, an inevitability with all the contracts that expired last year. Let’s go around the horn, shall we:
Doc B finally has his home email back. Didn’t see the Vince Young show in Pasadena but seems like he’s a hot commodity. He goes #3 to the Titans. They already have the original linebacker-sized QB, Air McNair (who can throw the rock with anyone), so they should be able to fit the new kid in. Bush goes #1 — no way Texans give up on their QB at this point with this guy available. Leinart goes #2 to the Aints. They just hired a QB coach as they new HC and there’s no way a QB coach passes over a classic drop-back game manager for an athletic guy with an iffy arm like Young. Jets new HC takes Ferguson. Stud OT is safe pick when you know that the team is at least a couple few years away from competing. I saw where the Pack, at #5, are in love with young LenDale. Only problem is he was barely in anyone’s top 20 three weeks ago. Do they reach and hope every Sunday will be a new Rose Bowl or do they risk trading down? More likely the former, as the hype machine gets cranked up. Big mistake is leaking that you got yer eyes on a guy who should normally go much lower than yer pick. Skins did it last year with that Auburn QB and had to scramble to get him in the end.
