I haven't planted asparagus, but it is on my list.  My question is, how much water do they require during the summer months (hot and dry here in Oregon)?

I have a hugel bed that I put in last year.  Grew potatoes, fairly successfully.  During the winter of this year, I emptied the contents of my bokashi bucket in the bed.  This is my first experience with bokashi.  I have high hopes this spring for an even better than last year hugel bed!

Hi Kate,
What’s your opinion on the dig an hole and bury a mixture of kitchen scraps and brown leaves?

This was my first attempt at building a hugelkultur bed.  It's not very tall, as it was dug too deep.  But look at those potatoes and spinach.  Haven't watered the potatoes since I planted them.  Feeling proud!

Informative and very well done!

Patrick....the link you provided took me to a hori hori knife, but not yours!  I eventually found yours and am excited to try it.  Thanks for the discount!

Just finished reading The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes. Excellent read!  …actually a listen. I’m hooked on audibles. Put my earbuds in and listen while I do mindless chores.
And then there is my book for the kiddos. Lizzabelle and the Plastic Bottle, available on Amazon. 😊🌎

Does placement of raised beds really matter?  I would like to place them in an east/west position, but from what I have read, north/south is preferred.  True, or not necessarily ?

In addition to using old T-shirts for gardening, they can easily be converted to shopping bags. See Pinterest for directions

Esterinas are by far the best yellow cherry tomatoes!
