So I'm new to permies, I'm setting up a 1/3 acre market garden and it would be cool to talk.

Its whatever and I'm sure that folks would love to talk to me, in a friendly way.

SOOOO... yeah send your pictures and lets talk.

Oh yeah, I'm tarping the ground before I till, they've been down for 5.5 weeks... tilling soon

Welcome to Permies Enoch!
That's a fair bit of ground to work by yourself.
What zone are you in ?
What do you plan on growing?

Welcome to the forum!

What do you plan to grow in in your market garden?

Will it be a fall market garden or a spring market garden?

Do you have customers lined up?

You'll be able to grow a lot there!  Are you planning to do the one-till method?  I think tarping it for a while will help because that kills whatever grass might already be there.

Welcome to Permies!

Are you familiar with no-dig concept of market gardening, especially that of Charles Dowding's market garden?

You might find it interesting to take a look: YouTube site of Charles Dowding

Welcome to Permies. You should do well with all that acreage. Plant what you know people in your area are wanting. Also plant some herbs and herbal flowers.

I would love to hear how the market garden did over summer and fall?

The garden looked like it was off to a good start...
