@GanJaGawD I ended up building a raised bed to plant a bed of Joan J raspberries outside this spring with a little help from my friends, I'll give straw bale gardening a go next year though with a bit more planning ahead. Obviously timing and the (3) straw harvest seasons were my issue here ...
It worked out pretty good though. For the first time in many decades my old lady has actually taken interest in growing something. She's a pretty interesting woman I met on the DMZ 30 years ago. Being one of the first females forward with 2ID in our military at that time wasn't easy. What do you know about things like that brother? What do you know about things that really matter like character?
