Sorry for the late responses. Thanks for the comments. Over the holidays I found the Mother Earth News Garden Planner, what a great tool. We will post our plans on our web site tsdesigns.com soon.

Can you tell us about your bees? I'm interested in getting started and happy to learn from your experiences. Thanks!

Congrats on farmer of the day. I too have five backyard raised bed gardens. Your concern about employees eating healthy is an admireable goal.

Have a great farmer of the day.

I used to pick blackberries from wild patches in the woods when I lived in Missouri. I kind of miss the seasonal trip to the farm to pick the precious berries.

Have a great garden day.
