This is where Benjamin Greenfield writes down what happens on his family farm in Oregon: year-round vegetable gardening in no-dig raised beds, with home-made compost and companion planting. Each article takes one job at a time, from working out where the sun falls to curing onions for the winter, and says what worked, what failed and why. The method is the one in his book, The Year-Round Vegetable Garden for Beginners; the blog is where year-round vegetable gardening meets the weather.
