Great Dale, I'm proud of you.
Starting a garden is great for you and your kids,
I learned how to garden as a kid on a farm.
We had a large garden and canned tomatoes and other things in the summer.
My mother was a teacher and had the summers off. Its great for family working together.
My dad worked on it in the evenings you could see him outside hoeing weeds.
I can't recommend it enough for people to get involved in. Start small. I recommend to start with vegetables that you like and will eat. On Thursday, I just ran out of butternut squash that I grew last summer.

Hello Everyone,
It’s so nice to see some of our community members getting back into gardening!
From 2018 through 2023, we had many active gardeners in the community, and even hosted a weekly gardening show on Wednesday afternoons.
When I lived in Reno—from 1999 to 2022—I grew much of my own food. Gardening is such a rewarding and relaxing hobby, and it’s wonderful to see it making a comeback among us.
Here’s a lovely photo sent by our very own Samantha—great job, Sami!

What a great thread!
I took over an allotment plot in September and it's been really enjoyable working on it. It has been fallow for six years and does have couch grass and bind weed on it, but I've been digging out the roots and nourishing the soil with leaf mulch and buried food scraps.
With the winter frost and perma rain, I've not been able to do much work on it the last few weeks/month and I got to say I miss it a lot.
What are you planning on seeding in January?
