The story of the blocks.

I told my honey all about the square foot garden method that I was following... my husband of just two years already knows my habit of procrastinating.

"This is why I'm doing the square foot method, its easier and faster."
"Okay, I'll make your squares"

My husband has also learned that it's useless to try and reason with me when I'm in a "mood".

My thinking: Hey we have a bunch of old 2" x 6" lying around, just grab a bunch and nail together, throw in some special Mel's mix and voila I have my square foot gardens.

His thinking: What is the best way to make gardens that will last into the next century barring nuclear bombing? I know I'll make them out of blocks.

"Honey, why can't we just use the boards"
"Well dear, they won't last plus they'll attract termites"
"Do termites like vegetables, honey?"

So to keep the peace and avoid the attacking hoards of house eating termites (which I still haven't seen) I agreed on the cinder blocks.
