I'd take a soil sample to the conservation office to have it tested. They will tell you what to add to your soil, as you work the soil, to help your garden be as successful as possible! Proper site prep is key to success! Good sunny location, good drainage.... all of these things are important. I am going to raise my beds... I'd love to have those things built and then add the proper soil mixture to them... this helps with several things... and saves you from breaking your back!

A well organized garden helps too.... pm me...

Remember, you don't have to plant inground gardens only... you can use many type of containers! I have planters across the front of my house... they are waist high and are very good for tomato plants, green peppers, Strawberries, green onions, and herbs.... I have parsley, chive, oregano, basil, dill, mint, sage... right along with my flowers! It's really cool!
