We are in the planning stages for two dear friends' kitchen gardens. This will be their first vegetable gardens and they are both excited and inspired. We are blessed with an early spring season here in Texas. We can start planting as soon as Feb. 15. We will take advantage of the occasional warm, dry winter day to dig the gardens. I will be following the advice of Steve Solomon in his amazing and technical book, Gardening When It Counts, John Seymour's timeless classic, The Self-Sufficient Life And How To Live It. And, of course, the king of Texas organic gardening, J. Howard Garrett and his book, Texas Organic Vegetable Gardening. Another book I love is Gaia's Garden: A Guide To Home-Scale Permaculture, by Toby Hemenway and John Todd.
Both gardens are in suburban backyards, so we have to use raised, intensive beds. I will post pictures and update what we are doing as we go along.
