Primary Goal: Have fun growing, try new things, and help to advance the hobby! Secondary Goal: New Personal Best, >6.65 lbs Tertiary Goal: >7 lbs Stretch Goal: +8 lbs I'll primarily be growing in 45 gallon fabric pots again in my backyard. Will be the second year growing in my "super-soil" mix (see Dan Sutherland's YouTube channel). Soil will not be tilled/turned. Hoping the biosphere has evolved and the soil composition continues to improve as the long-term goodies continue to breakdown. Note, the community garden was a total bust last season. The highlight of the season was.... no gophers! I had very high hopes, but just too much rampant disease to contend with for delicate tomato plants. Will try some "exotic" hot chili peppers and maybe 1 or 2 giant tomato plants, if I have extra seedlings. Best of luck to everyone this coming season!
