Larry, I want to sincerely thank you for starting this thread.
We had hoped to start our (big) garden this past season, but like usual, life had other ideas in mind. Gonna make it a reality next Spring. Not sure how it will turn out, but have to try!
With the short seasons up here, there's no sense trying to do ANYTHING without at least grow tunnels, so that's what I have in mind. However, rather than the intense farming that you mentioned, I want to allow extra space, as our ground is low ground and often gets very wet. Need that space for light and lots of air flow.
Looking to plant tomatoes to start. No farmer's markets in this area means people either have to grow their own, or fight their way to the very small market in Thief River Falls for the short time it is open each year. It's fairly new. One tried opening up in Roseau, but was more of a craft fair than anything else. It folded after the first year. We're looking to get permission to sell from a certain few spots, right out of the enclosed trailer. Had hoped to start with watermelon, but going tomatoes at first. Need the extra $$ that they would potentially have. And everything will be heirloom.
Had tried a little bit of leaf lettuce in our garden this year, but this was a bad year for most everything except cukes and taters, and they got set out late. Might try some lettuces again next year. I mean, what's better with fresh maters than fresh lettuce, right??
Sure do appreciate everyone's input here today. Thank you.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
