Sprouts

We have 2 broccoli sprouts this morning :D I’ll take pictures of my babies in a bit and post them.

Layout

If anyone can see anything wrong with this (other then my misspelling of zucchini) let me know.
I borrowed a layout from tastefulgarden.com to make this. The main square will be about 20′x20′ with another 20′ (or as much as needed) where the corn and taters will be.

Woo – Gardening!

I hate weeding but I so love growing my own food, so I’m gonna do my best to see this project to completion and grow us a garden.

Today I bought (and much of these are more for trying out the growing process then trying out the food):
Seeds:

• Pumpkins (2 kinds)
• Snap beans
• Zuccini
• Lettuce
• Orange watermelon (cool?!)
• Snow peas
• Corn (2 kinds)
• Beets
• Watermelon
• Tomatoes (2 kinds)
• White onions
• Green peppers
• Broccoli
• Cauliflower

Herbs:

• Basil
• Rosemary
• Parsley
• Thyme
• Oregano
• Chives

Some of these probably would have been better to get as starts, particularly the herbs and tomatos, but we’ll see. I hope to be in the house and have this garden for years so I gotta learn somehow since dad can’t teach me anymore. I did grow great tomatoes and onions on Pendleton against all odds, so there is hope.

I’m working on a garden layout and a supply list now, trying to keep costs as minimal as possible while providing a user friendly space because I will be short on time and needing the kids to help too!

I just realized I got no carrots! Dammit. I’ll pick those up too!
