Garden Work
Hi everyone! I just stumbled across this forum and it looks like everyone has great ideas and info for gardening!
I dug up my garden yesterday evening and planted some lettuce so I've got the gardening bug. I'm also writing a blog chronicling our yard improvements this year (you can check it out here http://katiekestner.blogspot.com/)
What's everyone planting this year? Anyone started garden work yet?
Re: Garden Work
My husband let me pick most of what we're putting in the garden this year so I'm pretty excited about the whole thing even though I won't have much time this summer to help maintain it. We're planting bush beans, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, zuchinni, watermelons, beets, onions, carrots, dwarf sunflowers (just to make it pretty) and grain sorghum. We plan on starting garden work in the next couple weeks when things warm up more.
I've been waiting for it to stop snowing around here so I can get started! For the past few weeks it has been around 50* Wednesday/Thursday and snowing or 25* on the weekend. Boo.
My first(!) garden plan is tomatoes, spinach, bush beans, eggplant, peppers, carrots, asparagus to be ready next year, and onions. I am debating but will prob try some small pots of herbs too...just not sure what to pick....
Every year I plant trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants, but almost nothing edible. I do this professionally.
I find that most people who plant vegetable gardens fit a particular demographic, and don't hire help (me), but spend lots of time talking to other like-minded folks on message boards like this. Thus, when people here talk about gardening, most of them mean vegetable gardening, and that's not my area; but you'll find excellent advice from many people here.
Best wishes and happy gardening!
