Status Updates

Have been away from KGI for almost 2 years and am back again. I moved to Grenada in the Caribbean and is starting my backyard gardening. We are now in the beginning of the dry season, but I am very excited cause I can grow all year round.

Hello all! I'm an avid gardener, but new to veggies. I garden on a typically small city lot. This past year, I began planting vegetables in containers and among other plants in my raised beds. After a season of tomatoes, eggplant and kale, my family is hooked. By joining KGI, I hope to learn more about how to successfully incorporate and grow edibles within my existing gardens.

KGI gets a mention in today's Washington Post. Check it out here: http://wapo.st/159u1Qm

The key thing to do before you plan your garden is to go skiing. Sounds crazy but now I have the patience needed to think out my spring.

New to the group. I'm looking forward to learning new things.

Is there a commercially available garden planner that you can recommend? I will be using your site for my personal garden, but I am also writing a business plan for a edible landscaping business. I have yet to find anything out there that works and adapting landscaping software to edibles seems to range from complicated to impossible. (I'm not asking for a listing of available software: Google provided me with that. I guess I am asking to see if anybody has favorites, and why.)
