hello from Rising Sun, Indiana

just built my 2 4x4 table top gardens seperated with a trellis. I am starting out slow as I am a beginner. Just wanted to say HOWDY!!!!!

to the forums. This is a great place for help. Everyone is super friendly and ready to help. I too just started this year but wanted to be sure to say HI.

thank you......now I am going to the "learn how to use the site" instructions. I also keep backyard chickens. As soon as I know how to better navigate the site I hope to post pictures of my new garden tables. thank you again for the kind welcome

Spankyleatherlips. I am going to call you "Spanky" and just leave the rest of that name alone. No comments. No nothing.

Again Starting out small is a fantastic idea. It is easy to get all excited and start bigger and then get overwhelmed with it all. At least that is the way I do things very often.....not just with gardening. With SFG the greatest amount of work and expense is the start-up. After that it really is so much easier than row gardening.

Thank you for introducing yourself and joining the forum. I am one of the regional hosts, but I am in Canada. Feel free to jump in and ask questions, make comments and best of all, post pics of what you are doing. It is always so much fun to see what others are doing. We tend to be a crazy but friendly bunch. We tend to joke and laugh a lot so feel free to join in and try not to take us too seriously except when it comes to following Mel's methods.

the story behind it is quite lame............... Everyone calls me Spanky

Welcome aboard Spanky! Another newbie here in Mason, OH so we're neighbors! Yes, this forum is very helpful - and patient with us newbies. I wish you the best of luck as you get started.


I am scheduled for a shipment of compost this Friday, and have my peat ready to go, now if I could only get my hands on coarse vermiculite, I'll be ready to go! Were you able to find the coarse grade in the area? If so, where??

Hey there spanky....welcome aboard!! Great to have another Midwesterner here.


That sounds like a pretty cool setup. When you get the chance, shoot us a pic or two. Others around here love to share pictures and we often get ideas from other's creativity.

When you get settled in, poke around the other forums, too....as you likely have. The Midwest forum is designed to get you some more local information regarding plantings and any issues you may be having for the specific time of year. Outside the Box is great for all non-SFG related tomfoolery.

Hope to see more of you around here.

Glad to have ya.

I like the sounds of your set up. Consider this another request for pictures when you are able. You should talk to forum member boffer. He is our resident TT (table top) guru. He does all sort of fun stuff with his and always seems to have a great harvest.

Hope you decided to stick around to post often! We are always willing to answer any question you might have to feel free to ask away.

I'd also recommend that you check out your regional forum as well as all the others. The Midwest forum always has something going on.

Yet another welcome from me, Spanky. I'm way up in the NE corner of Indiana in Fort Wayne. Good to have another Hoosier amoung us!

Best of luck with your TT and the upcoming growing season! Hope it's a plentiful one for you (and all of us!)

I also look forwad to seeing your pictures!

Jenny

Welcome Spanky,
If you have questions, this is the place to post them.

Many helpful folks on this forum and many experienced ones that have probably seen or helped with many problems before.

Good luck with your new garden.

I did it!!!!!! I posted my first picture.

And a BEEEEEEUTIFUL one it is too!

Its lovely. You did a great job with your boxes.

Wow! I guess you won't have a problem with rabbits! Great boxes!
