Dorm garden update

Matt Lehman, the Kansas college student who is growing vegetables in his dorm room, has posted an update on his blog, Dorm Room Garden.

I wrote about Matt in my garden column in The Sun, describing how he had been inspired by a book on square-foot gardening.

When he returned to college in the fall, he brought with him a garden in a 3-foot-by-1-foot wooden box and planted it with cukes, beans and tomatoes.

So far, he's had cherry tomatoes to eat -- and three beans. But he pretty much drowned his cucumber plant.

Check out Matt's update.

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
