My First Real Veggi Garden!

10:19, Tuesday, August 8, 2006 .. Posted in Growing Things .. 3 comments .. Link

I am so excited! My husband and oldest son built me two raised beds over the weekend. They are 10' x 4'. Just enough space for my first garden!

I bought some broccoli, various lettuce and carrot seeds. I also bought some spinach starts. I have a chayote squash, which is perennial, but probably wont produce until next year. I also have some small herb plants: pineapple mint, sage, rosemary and oregano.

What else can I plant now that will still grow?

I can't wait until next year so I can grow basil, cilantro, squash, cucumbers, corn, pumpkins, beans, etc.... lol

I will need more raised beds! I would make rows on the ground, but we have a terrible gopher problem. We also have dogs that like to dig.

So anyway, I am going to be planting a small fall garden tomorrow, and I will post my progress. :)

How exciting about the raised beds! That's exactly what I want too. You didn't mention the soil. How are you doing that? I mean how are you filling them?

Sounds exciting

Those lettuces will take off. They are so tasty when you yank them up fresh and go inside to eat them right away. Keep us posted on how they do.

Now we can both bore everyone to tears with our garden stories! LOL

I will not get my raised beds/hay bales till the middle of the month. I am excited to see what I can plant this month...I was really hoping to do carrots, but we shall see.

Have fun!

Remember: Life's a Garden; Dig it!
