would like more space for my garden,,which is going to happen
most of all the long term crops are done in the main garden.
tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, etc
as for everything on my list its a mixture of seasonal crops mainly grown in the raised beds, so there is always a rotation and staggering of sowing going on.
theres....
spring and fall crops
early summer crops
summer crops
late summer crops

so all season we are either eating fresh veggies or canning/ freezing something.

thats a very impressive size.. would truly like to expand our garden, but they are planning a highway by-pass around the town. there are 4 possible routes and one of them goes right though our property and about 20 other properties, went to a town meeting monday they<nc dot and us dot> will be culling 2 of the routes sometime next year. 2 of the routes go right though populated areas and the other 2 go though mostly farm lands. so till then we are not doing to much to the house or property.
