Vegetable gardening?

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

I built my parents some raised beds out of landscaping ties. You have to interlock them for strength & stability & I like them up pretty high since weeding is a pain in the derriere. You'd also need a big electric drill to punch holes for long spikes. It can be more expensive than just piling up the dirt into rows but I think it looks nicer & is easier on the back.

When I was a fish farmer, the managers & workers would take home any morts (dead fish) and bury it/compost it for their gardens. Boy, did they grow some humongous veggies.

Start early with planting your seeds into little plastic pots so you'll have a head start when it warms up. Seeds are way cheaper than buying seedlings, but if you're only doing a small plot, seedlings are much simpler & have a higher success rate since you can choose the bigger, stronger seedlings to buy.

Have fun. My dad has a green thumb but mine is blue & salty (I think I just set myself up for all sort of disgusting innuendos)
