My Vegetable Garden

I was so excited about starting my first vegetable garden this year.  I have done very little vegetable growing in the past and had very little experience and knowledge when I started.  I have since learned a great many things.  For example, our soil lacks calcium enough to grow decent tomatoes.  Chickens love to eat tomatoes.   Mulching is non-negotiable.  Goats getting into your garden does more damage than just what they eat.  They walk all over everything and run from you because they like it there.  Gophers love potatoes and rabbits love everything.  We have a lot of both.  However, despite all of my lack of knowledge and experience we have had a small green bean harvest, had some great carrots, plenty of banana peppers and we are still growing stuff.  Maybe things will turn around?
