Gotta love good dirty fun :)
This year finds me better educated on proper gardening and growing techniques, so I am even more excited! I have ordered seeds from a seed catalog, so I have a greater variety then I have ever had before.
I am starting my seeds later this year then last. But I know more this year so hopefully I will not kill most of then again. I bought seed starting pots and organic seed starting mix. (Next year I'll save egg cartons instead of the pots, didn't think about it this year). I used some popsicle sticks I had sitting around to label them.
On my grow list this year: (It is pretty aggressive for me)
Cherry tomatoes
Pear tomatoes
Beefsteak tomatoes
Cucumbers
yellow summer squash
zucchini
luffas
bell peppers
jalapenos
banana peppers
pinto beans
green beans
kale
amaranth(leaf variety, not grain. That'll be for next year)
broccoli
cauliflower
Brussels sprouts
artichokes
lettuce
pumpkins
basil
sage
corn
okra
Cilantro
Potatoes
I think that's it... Maybe.
I am super excited. I was intensely satisfying playing in dirt. I for one, relish a bit of dirt under the nails...
My father in law was sweet enough to get me some bails of hay for the walk ways through the garden. I never thought I'd be excited to have someone surprise me with hay. But, hey, what can I say... Hardy har
I also got some lime and sulfur (organic) to help me fix my soil. This is the kind of thing I had no idea about last year. My idea of gardening was throw it in the ground, cover with dirt. Now it is supposed to grow, right? Ha.... Oh the inexperienced gardener... Haha, from the lofty heights of a 3rd year gardener ;) But I have learned a lot. Really. I swear.
I can't wait to start seeing the little green bits poking out of the soil!
What are you growing this year?
