This first year is a kind of audition to show I can successfully produce on a larger scale and enjoy it. Rules for myself:
1. MINIMAL CAPITAL INPUTS. Never buy what you can recycle, repurpose, fabricate, borrow, trade or scrounge. 2. MAXIMUM PRODUCE OUTPUTS. Make the most of available space by efficient planning, rotation and vertical growth.
3. DON'T FORGET IT'S A RENTAL. Maintain healthy pre-existing trees and sod when practical.
4. KEEP THOROUGH RECORDS. Dates, dollars, varietals, successes, setbacks - track 'em all.

LEARNING AS I GO
When I laid out the garden this spring I thought that favas were climbers. I put them in with the peas and bought netting for them. Guess what? They're not. But they're going to be delicious.
