Personally, I know that the veggies I like to eat will grow in my area. I guess some varieties are better to grow than others and I will research that. We are going to start our garden small with a plot of about 20x40 in an area that gets afternoon shade. I plan on using horse manure to fertilize the ground and a lot of compost worked into the soil. Haven't decided on the type of compost - I know the easiest thing is just to go buy some. I expect to mulch the ground very heavily. We have our well so we can water. I'm really, really wanting to know how those of you who had gardens that suffered from last year's heat are planning on making plans to compensate for that.
Knowing ahead of time how the heat will come and the draught, how are you planning to change what you did last year?
