I'm with you, Strider. Try any kind of garden you can this spring, as it's amazing how much one can learn in the process...no carrots for my, thank you, as my clay-ey soil is so hard to grow in. But I'm doubling up on green beans, and pickling cukes this year, because that seemed to do well in my soil. Peas, too.
Hell, everybody should at least try with something...I'm excited that I'll be able to cut my rhubarb this spring, and I hope my strawberries grow wild this summer, in this, their second season. I don't have a huge garden, but you can plant different things at different times, and they teach you alot!
