Thanks for the welcome:-) My in-laws have been pretty awesome I must say. I am planning on direct-sew; since the area is so big, roomy & excellent soil, i figured there would be no need for raised beds. The weather hasn't been cooperating so well with my master plans....we will have to plant in the next week or two, when the weather is good again and not SNOWING!!!! stinkin UT...LOL
Do you let your son do everything in his bed, or do you work with him? I'm trying to figure the best way to keep the kids involved, but still making sure we maximize our outcome...

Hi! I'm sorry, I just saw your comment now. I love your photos! The bed with, what looks like lettuce and onions is wonderful! I'm really excited to get going again this year. I'm going to start spinach, onion and cabbage seed probably tonight!

Best, Paula

Hi! What great looking produce, and neat as a pin! What part on NY? I have been to the Finger Lakes in Watkins Glen and I love it and the people. I hope to move there and grow herbs and teach herbal medicine.

Impressive! Can you write about what medium you plant in, what your watering system/practice is, fertilizing, etc. You obviously know a lot to get such abundance!

Wow your produce look great! Looks like you have a lot of veggie beds in your yard. Maybe you could tell us more about the climate and what you grow each year.
The onions look good.
