  1. 1 John 2: 15-17 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the price of life-comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

  2. There is a CAVERNOUS fire ant colony directly under one of my SFG beds. Suggestions? I have stuck a metal curtain rod more than 2 feet down into it, and it feels like 1-2 inches wide – plenty of wiggle room. Who knows how massive it really is, and they are starting on a second bed. Help! It is under the bed, so I can't treat 360 degrees around the mound. And they are up in the garden soil now too. I tried agitating/driving them away without chemicals, but they didn't leave. They are just spreading. My only thought is to use the hollow curtain rod to get the treatment granules under the SFG beds directly into the colony. Will they leave if the queen dies? Just very leary of chemicals that close to food. Suggestions please?

  3. Totally inexperienced beginner gardener here. In the video the gardener program shows so many pants going into a square foot area, depending on what you're planting. I'm a bit confused because I thought that any vegetable would need to be spaced out at least 12" apart. Am I wrong? We have built 4 x 8 raised (off the floor) beds and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to space out lettuces, peppers, eggplants, tomatoes. Anyone willing to help?

  4. is it possible to have one bed say 8ftx4ft dedicated to soft fruits? say a blackberry bush (with support) and then maybe two or three currant bushes or gooseberry or even strawberries?. I have just made a raised bed with two supports each end and wires for a compact blackberry bush, that will leave say a 7ft x 3ft patch, my first plan was to put in strawberries but im thinking a red currant bush would be good also
