Casey and I are buying the lot across the street from our house and I guess Cael and I will try and plant a garden over there. I don't know very much about gardening, but I'm going to take good notes and have real low expectations. I'm expecting it to take several years to figure out, if I ever do figure it out. Right now I think you could go buy canned vegetables on a case lot sale cheaper than you can grow your own, but I think there will come a time that won't be the case anymore and I want to already know how to grow one myself.
So far my neighbor has come and tilled my ground for me with his tractor. I have planted tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, and cauliflower starts in the house. I will probably plant my peas, spinach, kale, and lettuce outside this weekend.
I am also planning on planting carrots, potatoes, onions, corn, beans, a couple kinds of squash, cucumbers, and pumpkins. My neighbor's daughter might plant some beets there and my other neighbor is going to give me some raspberry starts from her garden.
A couple other ideas we have been throwing around to use our space are chickens, pigs, and Christmas Trees. It will also be nice to have the steel building. Its going to be interesting!
