Thanks for starting this resource and for allowing me to join. Following is way more info than you, probably, wanted. My dad was an excellent gardener and farmer and I often wish I'd paid more attention. After not gardening for many years, I decided to start again. I've evolved my methods over the last 15 years. Started as a traditional plow up the area and plant in rows. Had modest success. Then discovered raised bed gardening and things improved. Recently, I discovered Ruth Stout's no till deep mulch gardening. It's resulted in my best garden ever. Last year was my first attempt at a fall garden for brassicas and had better success than before. Right now, I'm babying @40 cauliflower and broccoli plants in my unheated greenhouse. I'm in western Pa and have had some cold snaps. My latest grand experiment is to meet my goal of never buying a tomato from the store again. I've started a Kratky hydroponics garden in my basement. Right now, it consists of 5 tomato plants in 5 gallon buckets. I have pepper, cauliflower, cukes, cantiloupe and lettuce and spinach seedlings started but not in solution yet.

Has anybody ever grown this Tiara Cabbage before? I've been growing it for a couple years and it's my favorite because it's only 1-2 lbs (perfect 1 or 2 week portion) and I can grow them 10" by 10" grid spacing and 15 of them fit on a 5 foot bed space. I've been doing some crop planning for the farm lately and all my favorite varieties are bouncing around my head. Anybody else garden planning yet?

Here's how I buy seeds for the farm. I hope it takes some stress out of the equation for you. https://youtu.be/RpPwgwBSRxo

It's wet today , had a sleep in ... then after breakfast got ready to plant onions 60 of them and purple potatos but my veges in 2 gardens - 4 fruit bins - strawberries are getting watered well today I will only need to fertilize and mulch this week! I stepped outside got my seeds and tools ready then it started raining, I love working in the rain ... makes some jobs easier ... Last night I stake my vine tomatoes to help them be supported while they grow ... I'm potting strawberry runners today since it's wet and sowing silverbeet seeds I received yesterday from a friend's premise I visited with her mother Since it's wet today after I pot the strawberry runners , il make kombucha tea and make some fresh bread for dinner ... and i can sow some more seeds later too ...
