It's time to begin some food production and gardens at Ten Oaks.
We'll be putting in fruit trees and berry bushes in the spring - but for the garden proper - our soil is sandy crap - so it looks like containers/raised beds/etc will be the way to go. We'd like to do pumpkins, squash, potatoes, onions, garlic, tomatoes... and somewhere I'm going to establish a permanent asparagus bed...probably in a stock tank.
Slippy - I searched and searched for your thread a few years back about the stock tanks you set up, and the closest I found was your reply (below) to Pastor Dwight in Inor's thread. In one of your other posts in that thread you'd posted the pics of them - but those pics are no longer available.
Do you still like the tanks? Is there anything you'd do different? Does it get really hot where they are? Our spot for them would be in full Texas sun all day - temps in the 90s & 100s - and I'm wondering if the roots would stress from the heated up soil. Thoughts on that?
Inor - did you ever make any of those beds? If you did, how are they working? I doubt we'd do any concrete things but that was a great thread. Lots of others' good ideas, too...

Anybody - any thoughts or advice y'all might have for us would be very appreciated. PO says he'll "help me get everything set up but there's no way in hell he's gonna weed", LOL. And that's okay. I can do that.
