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.
This is the bed I dug up and planted with Mesculin salad greens the 29th of August. The package says ready in 45 days. I sprinkled the seeds on top and raked them lightly with a leaf rake, patted them in with my hands. They are covered with Burlap until they sprout to give them better germination.
