after talking about starting a garden for a few years...my hubby set out and built it. and what a good job he did.
we decided on a raised bed type and mapped out a nice bright spot on the side of our house for it.
we had a little helper. every step of the way.
we started out with a few tomato and pepper plants that hubby had brought home from work, and added in some starter veggie/fruit plants, herbs and seeds. and also a little fence to keep critters (and little boys) out.
we are having some pretty good success so far. This is impressive because I usually kill everything!
of course I love that I have a little helper that wants to water the garden every three minutes. 
first thing out of his mouth in the morning... momma, we need to water the garden! I hope this makes b want to eat his veggies!!
i need to do some reading, pronto. there is a lot to learn, and i would love to start a compost pile. anyone else doing any gardening?
I am on my second year with a plot in a community garden. I still need to master composting myself but it definitely takes effort and space and I am short on both (especially in the summer heat). Good luck with your garden!
ReplyDeleteMy brother in law has a plot in a community garden in durango. he has been giving us lots of good advice! I am also short on space and effort... we will see how we do composting!
