Our Garden

One of our goals for 2012 was to Grow Attempt a Garden! I am proud to say that we have actually planted some of our garden. We chose to do the square foot gardening because it was easier for us to break everything down into the small 1 foot by 1 foot plots and go from there. 

I found a website that you can put in your garden dimensions and what you want to plant. It will then tell you when to plant them and when to pick them. I think we let the idea of fresh food go to our heads, we wanted to plant EVERYTHING! I think we have narrowed it down somewhat but we decided to have 2 4x8' squares and then 4 planters.

Time for a trellis

As of this weekend we have planted the following foods:

strawberries

blue berries

rasberries

black berries

11 different pepper plants (yes we went a little crazy)

4 types of tomato plants

carrots

spinach

broccoli

We have yet to plant:

corn

cucumbers

onions

2 types of squash watermelon

lettuce

potatoes

sweet potatoes

peas

beans

I am sure I am missing something. And who knows what we will decide to add to the garden. My ultimate goal is to be able to have a dinner with all of our fresh food.
