I will try it this year. Living in New Mexico, everything dries out SO quickly! AND we still get tons of weeds! I'm looking forward to this method! (Does the hay blow around a whole bunch? We have a small yard in the suburbs, where we do our best to grow veggies in various corners of the yard, front and back. I wouldn't want to upset the neighbors by having my hay blow all over their yards.) Thanks! Thank you for this great tip! I will try it this year.

We heard about it from an old gardener that gave free classes on gardening at our local library. I am hooked! I found the same thing, far, far less weeds and the ones that did manage to peak through had very shallow roots and were so easy to pluck! Eureka!! And my life will never be the same ;) I have never heard of Ruth Stout, but last year we did this same method.

The only tomatoes I canned last year were in the form of homemade salsa. I figured that plain store canned tomatoes would be fine for soups, spaghetti, etc . . . and used the homegrown to make salsa, because it is so much tastier than the stuff you buy. I guess we'll have to plant even more tomatoes this year. And hope that they all live! Apparently I have been eating moldy tomatoes, because my brand was conspicuously missing from the shelf.

I remember reading about that sanctuary when I was researching my sighting.  That is a pretty amazing place.  If I remember correctly those are a special breed of deer though, not just albino whitetail deer. Although, I could be wrong it has been a few years since I looked them up.  Do you know what kind of deer they are?
