I live in Ohio (zone 5) and I'm starting a small vegetable garden in the backyard this year. It is 7'x8'. I figure it is wise to start small the first year and, if all goes well, increase it's size next year. I've never gardened before - ever. The only thing I've done so far is dig up the garden with a shovel. I got rid of all the grass sod and several rocks. The soil is mostly clay, so I'm going to add some sand and good dark soil. I will either rent or buy a tiller. I figure after the garden is tilled all I have to do is plant. I figure the end of May to be good for that. Does anyone know any good vegetable gardening websites? I'm particularly interested in zone 5 gardening. I'm looking forward to participating in this group.
