Oh this thread came just in time!

My DW is in my ear telling me I shouldn't be ordering heirloom seeds and such - that we need to go to the store and buy starts - They are easier to get going; and I have no idea how much work it takes to start a garden from seeds.

I have the space to develop a large vegatable garden and plan to start developing a weed infested field as soon as the rains/snow allows. Probably by the end of February/early March I will able to turn the soil over, get some ammendments in, build some raised beds with a gopher/mole barrier.

Any advice for starting from scratch would be great! And the assurance that starting with seeds - and developing stock piles of these seeds, is the best approach from the start.

I have some gardening experience, but not on this scale.

Thanks in advance for the insight!

Dennis
