My husband built about 10 60 foot long raised beds, double dug, and filled with mushroom compost. Each is about 4 feet wide. Not bad for a beginner, huh! My back yard is terraced out like Machu Pichu....but it grew just about everything I put in tne ground last year. This year seems much wetter though, so I don't know if I will be as successful. I already have peas, lettuce, rhubarb, asparagus, beets, kale, and some pumpkins started, but have lots more to grow. I really have no clue about what I'm doing, so I thougth the forum would be a fun place to find help and share successes and disasters. Thanks for the welcome. Debbie in Washington state by Olympia

Not bad for a beginner, huh! Not bad at ALL! That's pretty awesome! I'd love to have a husband that would do that! Welcome to the forum! Nice to meet you... Cindy

I'm way east of you in Northeastern Illinois, about 40 miles SW of Chicago. It'll be interesting to read about your gardening experiences. Do you do only veggies? I do mostly ornamentals with a few tomatoes, peppers and herbs tucked in. Again, Welcome!

I have family spread throughout Western Washington so it is extra special nice to welcome you to the forum. I wouldn't worry about the rain now, it'll probably still drought late summer lol it always does. Do you have any rain barrels for the gutters to catch the rain for later in the year? Hard to believe what they charge for water in Washington.
