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.
It was supposed to frost last week, (which it didn't) so I picked the most vulnerable produce. Its been in the 80's since. I picked the last of the Purple Majesty Green Beans . They did really well for me. As the weather turned cooler the Blue lake quality seemed to increase and the purple decreased. Also I dug my purple potatoes, which were a fingerling variety.
