I visited the Shady Lane Alpaca Farm as part of my Yarn Trek Bicycle Tour. Incidentally, I got to talk to the owner, Jean McClintock, about her raised bed gardens.
They are doing quite well, her beans are at least a week ahead of mine. I do not have raised beds and I was unable to plant earlier due to the wet soggy spring we have had.
Jean also pointed out the solar panels on her home. This is a venture she is partnering with a local company. They install, remotely monitor, and maintain the solar panels, retaining ownership for the first ten years. Then the homeowner "owns" the panels. Extra electricity is sold to the utility company, providing a savings on utilities.
