Minnesota?
My niece and her husband live in Minneapolis-St.Paul. Last summer she tried to start a kitchen garden and bunnies ate it up. Maybe I can send her your link?
Alice Campbell left a comment for Daisy Gardener"an Indiana group would certainly be diverse! We have a couple of zones in our North-South situated state ... my niece lives on the Ohio River near tobacco fields and my nephew lives in South Bend where lake-effect snow impacts the growing season!"

we had a friend bring us a truckload of horse manure a year ago this fall and spread it on the garden. We rake our leaves over the…"
Richard Webb left a comment for Alice Campbell"The best ratio of soil texture for ground is 40% sand, 35% silt, 20% clay, and 5% humus. I usually just use 2 inches deep of sand over a clay soil, that is about 1 ton over 125 sq feet area, and 1 or 2 inches of humus,that is about 1 yard for 125 sq…"
Alice Campbell left a comment for Richard Webb"we have had clay soil up at the lakes (Columbia City) and added compost, leaves, manure every year for five years before it got nice. When we moved to N. Manchester and the river-bottom soil was sandy: wonderful forgiving stuff to work in but dried…"
Daisy Gardener left a comment for Alice Campbell"I can't seem to find an exclusive Indiana Group. There should be more than a few around?"

Belinda Jean Eudy said… - It will tell you when to harvest but sometimes I have to harvest when Okra and others are ready. Every plant has a way of showing you when to pick its fruit and when to top out so the plant will be fuller instead of leggy. If I can help let me know. Cantalope, the vines will die at the stem when it is ready and sometime you have to pick it and let it ripen some.

I usually just use 2 inches deep of sand over a clay soil, that is about 1 ton over 125 sq feet area, and 1 or 2 inches of humus,that is about 1 yard for 125 sq ft area. then I dig them into the ground and then till with my small rotatiller machine, like a Mantis, and it amends the soil to about 6 to 8 inhes deep
