I start as many plants as possible indoors in August and wait for the hard rains to slow before planting in the ground in September. Also, I use raised beds to allow for drainage. When you are planning your garden spot, make sure you take into account what the soil conditions are in September. We’ve had some heavy rains the past couple weeks and my lower pasture where the cows are get really water logged. If I was going to garden in the spot, I’d need to dig a pond and raise some specific spots. As for major storm and hurricanes, growing bushes and other perennial food forest plants around your vegetable garden can help slow the wind down and reduce damage to plants. If you are always doing new starts, you can replace plants that don’t make it after the storm.

You can replant them and grow more starts for next year.

@Tyner Michelle cool. Keep me posted. Someone in the Sanford area was asking.

@Tyner Michelle have you made goat cheese?

@Tyner Michelle I still have some birds in my freezer if anyone wants any.

@Tyner Michelle by hand mostly. I have a cable connect to the front wheels. Lean back and the front wheels lift while the back wheel roll forward.
