Reinbeau, your garden is wonderful and very inspiring for me since I am getting rid of all the grass in one of my yards and it will be nothing but veggies, herbs and flowers (next year). I am hoping to triple my veggie planting space, I wanted to use the pea gravel and seeing it in your space...
Have your plants got flowers yet? Once you have flowers you know your plants are making taters. It seems the last two years I've planted taters its is usually a month or so after flowers that I can get some baby taters. I am impatiently waiting on mine now. I keep my tops exposed and put new...

I'm new here, over from BYC. I've had my chickens for almost a year and I use the deep litter method. I hope that what I'm trying will work, I moved my garden to virgin soil this year, made raised beds and then added some of the litter to each bed and have been cultivating it in and watering...
