I'm torn. Spring is springing here in N.Ga. I've some nice garden beds that I've been turning for the last 21 years. Nice organic soil. I usually till the ground and add compost and mulch and plant what the wife picks out (with some input from me), then let her take over the watering, weeding, harvesting, and using of said veggies. I hate to let the plots go to weeds, but I'm not sure I'm up to maintaining the garden solo. I've pretty much been doing it solo the last few years and it dosen't work so well. I'm torn.
I've been tempeted to put an add in the paper "orgaic garden looking for organic gardener..."
As for small gardens, I alway recommend herbs. Realisticly you can't grow enough corn to cover your fambly for a year, but you can grow enough rosemary, thyme, sage, mint, peppers... to really put your mark on what your kitchen puts out.
We (I) have rasberry plants. They are lots of fun. Ain't nuthin better than a sun warmed, almost over ripe rasberry. Yum. They usually come in just in time for Father's day. We always give him a bunch. He claims they are his favorite vegetable. One year they were late. We had to give him a bottle of whisky instead. Then when the berries came in, he got them also. No complaints that year.
