CONGRATULATIONS Jerry on making this great choice! It is always hardest starting out as there is so much to set in place.. but it looks like you are well on your way! Doing this is so good and in so many ways. ..

It becomes like your special time when you go to the garden to check on your plants..it defiantly helps to relax and destress as you forget about the worldly distractions whilst you potter about the yard.

You will im Sure be very happy indeed with the taste of your harvests! Most people who only eat store bought fruits and vegetables have gotten used to the bland taste and lack of prana in mass produced food. I used to work in a fruit breeding farm as part of my Biology degree, and i was stunned to learn that TASTE is the very last thing they look at, and is of least importance. They are looking for yield. shelf life, resistance to pests etc.. So i cant wait to read your posts in a few months telling us all how amazing your food tastes!

One tip i would like to offer is that next time you buy heirloom seeds. These are original unbred / modified seeds that are really the best in may ways, and you can easily buy online. There's about 1000's websites but here is one example: https://www.seedsnow.com/

now is a great time to start composting also. Once the plants get going you will want to put compost on everything.. it speeds up growth and production many times over and is really easy to do if you get set up..

The easy 'no brainer' way to compost is to basically just keep all your food wastes except citrus (you don't eat meat so no need to separate it) and put it straight on the beds and cover with some soil. You CAN of course make a proper composting pit and keep it and turn it over every so often,.. but i know people who just throw the scraps straight on the beds and it works REALLLY well and saves all the time and space of making an actual compost heap.

Best of luck,
