That is the plan. I have already done plenty of research but as you know, even the best book learning from locals who “wrote the book” still does not compare to personal experience.
I have already reached out to the local extension office and they allegedly will do site visits to assist in planning. I am getting too old to redo a garden every year as I learn new stuff. I want to plan this out at the beginning with options to add features later.
Love the plan! Can’t wait for you to share the results.
It would be very, VERY hard for me to start over once again. Granted, life changes, and I may HAVE to at some point, but going back to just gardening in pots, or one raised bed would be painful. :(
You, however, are going to do great. So VERY happy you are getting what could become your ‘dream job’ and a more calm life, all around. :)
Plan the WORK, then WORK the plan, Baby! Works every time it’s tried! :)
