That looks great! Do you start the seeds indoors? Which zone are you in? I'm from NY as well and my zone is 6b.
Thanks! It is a lot of work, but I really enjoy the constant expansion and trail & errors. I typically like to start my seeds indoors. Some plants that need a little longer in the seedling stage before transplanting I buy as starters from the local farms. However, the space I am currently living in doesn't allow too much extra space indoors(by windows)…so I have been doing a combination of both lately. I would like to set something up for next year where I can start most, if not all my plants indoors. In due time I suppose.
I live in Rensselaer County towards the the border of Mass. We sit at about 1,300' ASL so the spring in a couple weeks later to arrive than in the valley and winter sets in a littler earlier with 'first frosts' hitting with the higher elevation. My zone is 5a. With a short growing season, I try to plant veggies that are prolific producers such as peppers, eggplant, leaf lettuce, etc. I try not to take up too much space in the garden with a 'one time harvest' type of plant like cabbage. Im assuming you are on L.I. or towards Rockland/Orange County with a zone6b?
