All things considered - we're very happy with how our garden is going! It's me and my wife's first year gardening, combined with a horrible drought in our area and limited free time to work on it we had very low expectations. So basically anything feels like a win! We've gotten a million cucumbers, eggplants and beets, a smattering of tomatoes/beans/peppers, and a huge crop of winter squash coming in. We feel like we're learning a ton, and already have some ideas for what we want to do differently next year!

    Just finished the Food Lab by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, and I really loved it! There are plenty of recipes in it, but it is more focused on techniques and the "why" behind a lot of things. I'd also recommend his YouTube channel super heavily.

    My wife and I are starting a garden for the first time this year. We originally were just planning to do transplants for everything, but a family member gifted us some of her favorite seeds and we've had some luck germinating them! Work is busy so we are not babysitting them as much as we should, but excited to see what makes it.
