While we plan on continuing our 10,000 square foot main garden this year, there will also be more of the square foot gardens going in.\u00a0 For me, they are the easiest and most fun.\u00a0 There are photos and basic “How to make it work” info on out web site.
\nThe\u00a0 Square Foot gardens on pedestals will grow our salad greens and an assortment of herbs and flowers. They are close to the back door and easy to get to.\u00a0 The greens will include four or five varieties of heirloom lettuce, Swiss Chard, Collard greens, several varieties of Kale, and Mustard greens.\u00a0 The herbs will include garlic chives, oregano, basil, Italian Parsley, sage and thyme. These are great to snip and mix with the salad greens. I will plant Marigolds in several of the square foot areas. They are pretty and host the pollinators.Bob will be building the new square foot boxes as soon as it warms up a little. These will go out to the garden area with the others, and be planted with a variety of vegetables. I plan on experimenting with some root crops in one of the boxes. Potatoes, carrots, beets, onions, and radishes. We will try to photograph the progress.\u00a0 Our friend, Jon Frank, from International Ag Labs, is mixing up a new dirt blend for one of the boxes. We will be keeping records of what is planted and how well the veggies grow and taste.\u00a0 It is always fun to try new stuff.\u00a0 All our other square foot garden boxes contain our good black organic soil and compost. My Blogs will cover our garden activity. I hope to encourage other folks to plant this year.\u00a0 It works for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
