Probably a better place to discuss then the General Political Thread.
As the title suggests (calling @ImperfectPixie) others are quite free to join in.
Here is where I'm at:
I've gardened off and on for years, but the latest setup I was not happy with so started again based on a picture I found, mine will look similar to this, but not quite.
Again note this is not my garden right now, but a direction I'm working towards.
I've been diligently working on hauling out the Western NY clay as it is really poor soil for vegetable gardens. With this in mind I have dug out the spots where I will plant down to a uniform depth of 8-12" (depending on what is going where). Next weekend if all goes well I'll be filling these "boxes" that I have dug out of the ground with dirt/manure/gardening soil.
As a few people know while not quite a doomsday prepper I do plan ahead so this is not entirely frivolous.
Here is what I have going into my roughly 14x16 space:

Apple trees that at two years old already bearing fruit? Yeas please.
Space is not really an issue as I have a big back yard, no trees where the garden is to block sunlight and relatively flat gorund with a mild slope from north to south. The apple trees are likley to be outside the garden proper as I might add a tradtional pear and apple tree as well.
