This was our first year. We grew a variety of vegetable and herbs. We harvested throughout the summer and are getting ready for the fall planting. As the weather gets cooler our plans are to build hoop houses over our garden plots to extend our growing season. We are also getting 2 chickens so that we will have fresh eggs.
