Bought a house 4 years ago and started gardening after needing somewhere to put the 3 cu. yards of dirt we got from adding a stone patio and new pergola under the Wisteria vines that had crushed their old support.
After moving most of that dirt multiple times I know have 4 raised beds, though 2 of them are quite gravelly. :(
I grow mostly edibles because I love to cook (I have a degree in Pastry Arts). I’m excited to see what I can grow for my lovely wife and our new son!
