Thanks, I’ll check out the podcast and those plants!

I’m getting back into gardening after a 15 year hiatus. Zone 6b. I started 3 raised beds in the fall. Sowed 2 with winter rye and covered one with leaves. I’m going to work some soil conditioner in that one and start some lettuce, kale, radishes, carrots, and turnips soon. My mini soil blocker arrived today, so I’ll start peppers indoors soon. I’ll plant those and tomatoes in the other 2 beds - trying to do no till from here on out.

If I have room, I’ll put in some zucchini and winter squash and a melon.

I’m also trying my hand at doing some containers with dwarf peas and herbs.

Finally, I’ve never really done flowers, but I’m having a go at nasturtiums, calendula, marigolds, and sunflowers.

I really need to get some fencing up because we have a lot of deer!

If you’re looking to get free wood chips (US only, I assume), the service chipdrop will match you with arborists looking to get rid of chips. The arborists are charged a $20 drop fee, which you can offer to pay. Or not. I just requested my first drop this week - still haven’t received it.

Things to note:

• Drops aren’t scheduled - they just show up one day, and it could be the same day, or weeks later
• You can offer to accept some logs along with chips to increase your chance of getting a delivery
• There will be branches, leaves in with the chips
• You have to take a full load - I think it’s 20 yards!
