I must say I am envious. I just saw the first few snowflakes of winter this morning. I plan to get my garden cleared and ready for planting when the times comes.

This is the time of year for me to break file and sharpen my hoe and other tools and start constructing some new tomato cages.

My wife and I are also considering renting a small garden plot to grow sweet corn to sell at the farmers market (or its redneck equivalent a pick up off to the side of the highway) next year as a summer project. Does anyone have any recommendation for websites or books on how to undertake this. We are looking for details like how much yield to expect per acre and such. Any recmmondentation appreciated.

Do a search for your university extension office as a start.
