New here but not to gardening. I have been gardening a long time, mostly ornimentals but in the last few years been growing veggies. Love growing food. I usually start my own seeds and try to grow mostly heirlooms. No comparison with flavor. I can, dehydrate, freeze my harvest. Here I can grow nearly all year round which makes it nice. I plant in raised beds, containers and in the ground. I don't have a big garden but its enough for me to handle by myself. I also like to recycle and find new ways to repurpose items that would otherwise wind up in the land field or in a ditch somewhere. Anyway glad I found this site, hope I can help others and I know I will learn from other like minded gardeners.
