Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Andeanfx" <andeanfx@midrivers.com>]

The first new moon after the spring equinox (the new year) is not until 
April 14 so, according to that the growing season should be late on both 
ends this year.

It sounds like you are getting a lot of green house area built up.  How much 
do you grow in them full season and how much to you start and the set out. 
I have been leaning toward covered raised beds but the thought of growing in 
green houses full season keeps coming to mind.
