I have a vegetable garden in Midwestern Northern Illinois. It is organic, has raised beds, and I am using double digging techniques (actually bastard trenching), along with French Intensive concepts. I broke ground in December of 2009, and I hope that if you are a beginning or struggling gardener that this blog will be an encouragement to you.

Some scallions I'm experimenting with.
I planted these scallions July 1st, variety Cipollotto do Mazzi. I don't know if they'll get big enough to eat this fall or not. I've never grown them before. I suspect they are best planted in the spring, and then picked in the fall in October and November. Some varieties survive the winter till spring, and some don't. I've never grown these before, so we'll see what happens. You can see the cracks in the soil. It's not really because the soil is dry, but because I have high clay content and not enough organic matter content.
