Here I hope to put information about my vegetable garden and how I start and clean up the garden. I am by no means an expert, but I hope with the notes I put in here and different things I try I will come close. My goal is to be able to start seeds before the frost and hopefully have them ready to go with in a week or so of the last frost. Hopefully have enough produce to can, freeze or dehydrate enough food for the winter. In the fall I hope to harvest some seeds that could be used for the next year. With any luck things will work out, but I have no fantasies of this being completely successful, though I have high hopes. As I learn things I will post them here and I will try and keep my notes from year to year. I will try and keep theories and conclusions on here as I figure them out. I will admit I am not completely organic, but if I can avoid buying something I will try.
As I learn new things, my theories will be in the theories page, which will change as I try things. This page will keep links to different year's notes and other information.
