I live in North Central Missourah, just about 13 miles south of Ioway. Zone is 5a and I look forward to starting my first container garden this year. My wife, Nancy and I want to grow some heritage veggies and do a little seed savin' 'n seed swappin'.
I just built two raised container frames that will hold eleven 2' x 8" planters each. I am in the progress now of fabricating cloches to cover these frames and insulate them from the cold weather Iowa seems bent on sending down our way.

OK, that's about it for right now. See y'all on the Forums as I learn more about this new venture.
