New Garden Blog

So we have decided to start a real vegetable garden this year. We've grown herbs and tomatoes before and they did well especially the tomatoes.

We're doing an altered version of the square foot garden. In total we'll have 24 sqft. of vegetables. Do to so many of the varieties we're planting being vertical growers and vines, we're not using the grid pattern of growing so much as the philosophy of less work, less time, more harvest.

I'll post our planting plans as soon as I get them scanned in but here's a list of what we intend to grow.

Tomatoes both slicing and cherry
Pole beans otherwise known as green beans
Carrots
Strawberries
Yellow neck squash
Zucchini
Cucumbers
Bell peppers
Jalapenos
Chives
Parsley
Cilantro
and whatever else we like at the garden center.
