Planning The Garden Layout.

I had mentioned last year that there were a couple of things I was going to change in my planting design this year. I decided that I wanted to sketch things out so that my time spent planting was a little more organized. Here is what I'm thinking about doing! If you are an experienced gardener and see any errors in my plans....please let me know! All feedback is welcomed! I've got my vine plants like zucchini and cucumber placed against the outside wire fence so that they can climb....and I'm not going to overcrowd this year. I did some minor rotating of the plants to make sure that there is a difference in the nutrients being leached from the soil (though I will admit that I didn't do enough research on this yet). There will definitely be trial and error on this, but I like that! I'm growing Jalapeno's and Carrots, which I didn't do last year....and then I took eggplant off the garden plot. I might try it in containers instead. They didn...

Cocktail Umbrellas

It is soooo rainy that I'm struggling with my plants. My lettuce and spinach seeds have all run off and my seedlings look like they have root rot. I'm considering purchasing a collection of cocktail umbrellas to put over each little seedling. I'm beginning to give up hope for this year's crop. Which is sad.

Lettuce Begin Again!

A little time. A little Sunshine. A couple of cooler weather crops. And we have begun. Today I spent a good portion of my afternoon out in the garden space, readying it for the planting season. I turned the soil with the hoe. I pulled out the little patches of grass that seeded themselves in over the course of the winter. And then I decided it was time to put my lettuce and spinach seeds in the ground. (I haven't purchased my kale yet or that would be seeded in as well.) I'm going to head out later to get what I need to start my seedlings for the rest of the garden. I'm a little later than I was last year, but I did have a couple of mishaps in round one that I'm going to avoid in round two!! I love growing season!
