Greetings!
My name is Ben and this forum was just recommended to me. I started a last-minute vegetable garden last spring with six 4x4 beds for veggies, and a 100ish sq-foot area where I just threw a bunch of wildflower seeds to attract pollinators. Some things did reasonably well, while others didn't, but I had absolutely no pre-planning or anything. I was basically in Home Depot, saw a bunch of seeds for $0.50 per packet, and decided to grow a garden. in prepping for 2019, I've done a ton more research, taken some classes via my local extension service, created some compost piles that should be ready for 2019 planting, and have my plan and budget around 90% complete already! My back yard is roughly 12000 sq ft with abundant sunshine, and I hope to use around 1000 sq ft of that this coming year
I look forward to gleaning some wisdom from y'all, and hopefully to contributing to the conversation.
