Corn is also a target for crows. Some gardeners run into trouble when they try to grow exotic varieties. Mrs. Keller has learned from experience. She planted radicchio seeds from Italy, but the plant was way too bitter because of Connecticut soil conditions. Our soil is not like Georgia's.

You know where you can walk. Raised beds also make it easier to get deep, friable soil, essential for successful root crops.
