i have done a bit of gardening - scattered through the yard d/t circumstances. Now i want to take my 3 strawberry beds, the asparagus and rhubarb next to it and move these to a permanent spot in the front yard. From here i want a full garden for 4 adults. i know next to nothing about gardening and generally go with a wing and a prayer. Is there someone i can sit down with and work on how to go about my plan?

Thanks for your question.
There is a lot of gardening information available from Oregon State Extension. Here are a couple examples:
-"Growing Your Own" - https://extension.oregonstate.edu/catalog/em-9027-growing-your-own. This is a great guide to growing your own vegetables and covers everything from selecting varieties, raised beds, when to plant, and many other topics.
- "Growing Asparagus takes patience but rewards gardeners for years" - https://extension.oregonstate.edu/news/growing-asparagus-takes-patience-rewards-gardeners-years
I would recommend you contact Lane County Master Gardeners to see if they can talk more specifics with you. Here is their contact information: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/mg/lane/have-gardening-question
