Hello! My name is Ray, and I transformed my NJ backyard from 100% grass into an ultra-productive organic vegetable garden.
When you start, you’ll probably ask questions like:
- What part of the yard should it go?
- What’s the best soil for vegetables?
- When do I start by seed?
- Is my seedling ready to transplant?
- How often should I water?
- What tools do I need to buy?
- What kind of harvest will I get?
(Squash & cucumbers are FAST growers during the hot summer months)

My goal is to connect with South Jersey gardeners like you to help share what I’ve learned!
