Hello Friends!
This is my first year gardening. I started with tomatoes, Cukes, sweet potatoes and peppers in 2 large raised beds. In hindsight, it would have been better to do the tomatoes, Cukes and sweet potatoes in rows on the ground, but anyway...
I have limited sun on my lot. In fact, the only other spot that gets 6 hours of sun is our patio, and my husband isn't in love with tearing down oak trees to give me more sun. So, after doing the raised bed thing and hoping that we get a decent harvest from some of the maters and peppers, I'm getting the urge to put some broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and cabbage in the ground for a fall garden. I'm going to start all my seeds inside since it is still fairly stifling here in Upstate SC (zone 7), and my husband has promised to get the ground ready here by the time my seedlings are ready to go.
So, my question to you wonderful people, knowing what I want to grow, and understanding this spot is the only place I get 6 hours of sun on the ground... what should I ask my husband to do to this ground if I want to have 3 rows? My father in law has a tiller we can borrow, but is there anything else special we need to do to treat the ground? I don't have a lot of money to spend, so is it even worth trying?
