I hope you get some suggestions! I too am in AL and will attempting my first garden. Are you just doing small containers or getting raised bed kits from somewhere?

I've read some great books (by Edward Smith of VT, Pamela Crawford of GA, and a duo for "Bountiful Containers") but these are people who have a lot of experience. My gardening experience has been ornamentals so I'm not sure if I'll have a green thumb with veggies or not.

To limit disappointment (not liking a variety, losing some to bugs/disease) I want to plant a number of different varieties, and that is where I start to get into trouble. How do you decide what varieties to try? How many of each variety do you plant?
