Hello from the Chicago suburbs!
Hello!
I'm John from Naperville, a western suburb of Chicago. I'm relatively new to gardening, I've had them in the past and got a bit busy with work to properly tend to the gardens. We've moved and I've got more time to put into the veggies. I'm building a raised bed and germinating some Sample Seed Shop tomato varieties. Bush beans and lots of salad varieties are going in once the weather improves. I've got a PVC watering system from theold gardens I'm refitting for the different shaped beds at the new house. Really looking forward to getting outside as the weather gets warmer.
Cheers,
John

Hello and welcome to the Junction John. It's a great year to be starting a garden and you have come to the right place to learn about doing it. Lots of knowledge in this group.
