Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["E. E. Mitchamore Jr" <emitch@att.net>]

Please continue with this kind of report.  Can't beat it for learning from successes and failures of others.  We receive weekly newsletters from other market gardeners, but they don't talk about their problems or failures.  We need to hear about that more than about the successes.

Subject: [Livingontheland] complicated growing for market

Well, we're finding how complicated growing for market can be.You can plan
and carry through dilligently but there's still guesswork involved. We've
tried to grow what we felt would sell here and so far we gave up on bok
choy and turnips. No one else is selling those either.

 It's going well for us and we're making two markets near us, one of them
runs twice a week and had 36 growers selling today.

The trickiest part seems to be growing enough and timing it all to have a
steady stream of produce on your table over the selling season. So far so
good, .....
