In your grow room now (and later in the greenhouse) what about installing a big whiteboard? You could map your beds out on it and mark what is in each bed. This would allow you to make changes as you plant. Plus it would give you a "map" of what is planted where. (sorry I am a big visual person lol)

Keep in mind that you can use taller summer plants like tomatoes to extend cool weather crops like lettuce. So if you were to switch your lettuce and tomatoes by the time the tomatoes are taller they'll start providing some filtered shade to your lettuce right when they need it.

In case you didn't already know- there is an attachment for the pressure washer that is specifcally for power washing large stones/concrete slabs. It's a kinda big black/grey disk shape head attachment that you kinda skim along the floor like you would a mop/steam/vacuum, and it keeps the spray more centered and contained and makes the pressure stronger for sectioning on flooring! 🥰 other than that tidbit wonderful video, super relaxing and fun as always!

Looks great! That’s the trouble with full free ranging- they get broody in the Spring and start making secret nests all over the place. We’ve had great success with keeping our chickens in our large fenced orchard. It’s a dual use area- fruit and eggs 😁. The chickens scratch up bugs and fertilize trees. When we muck out their coop, we use their bedding/poop to mulch trees. We also grow roses in there. Blueberries go somewhere else because the chickens peck off the buds in the Spring. It actually works really well!

Now that you have all the chicken poop (etc.) washed off the patio area, you can "soft wash" the same areas... You might want to wait until you've finished your hardening-off and planting, since that will add additional dirt on your concrete. After that: For every gallon of water, mix 2 c of bleach and a big squirt of dish soap (I like Dawn). Take a sprayer (or watering can) and apply that mix thoroughly to the area. Allow it to sit for at least 15-30 minutes, then just hose it all off (no need to pressure wash it off). I think you will be surprised to see how much "cleaner" everything looks! If you don't have "chunky stuff" (like chicken poop!), it is a much faster and easier method than pressure washing -- with FABULOUS results!

Becky, I plant lots of red lettuce because it's so nutritious, but I don't like "soft" lettuces so I wash it all when I pick it and then I put it in either a zip lock bag with paper towels inside or a big covered bowl with paper towels on top of the lettuce. The paper towels absorb any excess water and after a day or so the lettuce is much more crisp than when I picked and it stays nice for at least a week. This also works on my green lettuce and spinach.

I think the beds are far enough apart that I don’t think you have to worry about a shadow. May also want wear an apron to hold your seed packets while out in the garden. It’s going to look wonderful can’t wait to see it in a month!!! 😊

The only thing to consider with the weed fabric is it will definitely raise the soil temperature and could cause cool season vegetables to bolt before maturing. It may not be an issue where you live so it’s definitely worth a try. I live in the south and weed fabric doesn’t work for me. I really don’t have a big problem with weeds in my raised beds. Everything looks fabulous!

Same! Plus the first couple of years, the weed aren't as aggressive in the raised beds, especially since Becky has gravel in between her beds. But, who knows? It might be just the best discovery ever!

I think it was a good idea for the fabric but there are times when you cant like the things that are too small for the holes in the fabric like peas, onions, potatoes I love my fabric no more or very little weeding, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Your garden is looking amazing.

It might be too late, but you need stairs that go down the middle of your retaining wall. It'd help if you dont want to walk all the way around. Also, even if you did have a greenhouse, it's probably good to have the grow room. You can always transfer them out there when they get bigger, but starting out and it being snowy would suck to go down there.

You coul plant you😮r lettuce in between your potatoes. Lots of wasted space on those beds or maybe celery or cucumbers in those beds. Companion planting. No wasted spaces in the garden. Or radishes onions. Just an idea.
