I think that you guys are just awesome to be able to grow so much and make due where God has planted you. I planted my first garden this year in two 4X8 beds. Rabbits ate my green beans and lima beans before we put up a chicken wire fence- I have replanted and hope to harvest some before the cold weather kicks in. I had a lot of tomatoes off of 3 plants and one patio grape tomato plant, and also had about one yellow squash and one zucchini off of 1 plant of each. I want to add about 8 more beds little by little and try to grow more. I have 5 kids to feed and hope to grow what I can. I have searched your site and others learning all I can about gardening in raised beds. I am totally overwhelmed to the point of almost being inable to go forward for fear of doing things wrong and wasting time and money. I really would love to see posts about exactly when you start seeds and when you transplant them to the ground. How you extend growing seasons. What exactly you plant when. I am sure this would help many who feel as I do, and would give more people confidence. We are in a mild climate in Alabama, so I should be able to pretty much grow something all year. We might see freezing temps twice in a year. May God bless your family and efforts to teach us all about growing things!Holly I have been lurking around your website trying to soak up information!
