As I have launched my garden I have, quite pragmatically, been trying a number of plants just to see what might actually thrive in my location with minimal nursing along. I still would like to have them all do better though.
Surprising to me the lettuce beds are thriving and not a bug bite on them. More lettuce than I can eat. I'm planting different varieties now to see how that goes. Beets seems to be doing just as well. So I am expanding my bed of beets from a few dozen to a few hundred.
I have fifteen acres available to plant so if there is some success I can expand on it and develop a field crop over time.

Assume the best and ask questions.
