Thomas Jefferson, as well as being a great statesman, was also one of the greatest gardeners of the time.
He was a man who wrote everything that he every did, down in note books. If you want to know anything about growing...just look him upon the internet.
He had a 2 acre garden that is 1,000 feet long and 90 feet wide. It is still there and you can go and take a look.
Truly amazing, I have seen it. In this garden he grow 330 varieties of vegetables. He was most famous for his peas, on the subject of which he has written reams.
You do not have to grow that many varieties, just grow what you would eat and now is the time to sit down on a rainy day and do some garden "thinking".
