I'm trying to figure how to do a garden here. The soil here is extremely rocky and next to impossible to dig in. Also doesn't help that my yard has really bad drainage so the back is currently a muddy, rocky mess. Any ideas? I'd really like to have a garden this year!!
All depends on how much garden you want, and how much time and money you have. You can make almost any soil grow with the right amendments. Making sure soil structure is correct, adding some organic matter is a start. From the sounds of it you don't have a real great area to garden in the ground with, and it might cost you too much to get it to where it would yield better than raised beds or containers.
Time to look at raised beds and containers. You can make raised beds or buy containers cheap, add a manufactured or prepared soil, plant intensive and get some great yields. You can grow pole beans, they grow up and not out, tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce, onions, carrots, squash on poles, strawberries. You can grow an amazing amount this way. Get the hang of it and have some great food to eat and put up.
I grow in both my garden and in pots on my deck and patios.
