This weeks 20 degrees + average temps have me thinking SPRING! Of course, March will probably dump 3 feet of (much needed) snow on top of us, putting me back into winter hibernation; but today I'm still thinking SPRING!
I'm incredibly excited to have a garden this year.
Confession: This will be my first garden
Confession #2: I used to grow marijuana, so I know what I'm doing.
My garden will be a straw bale trellis/canvas bag garden because I can't use the land, due to property restrictions.
Outline Plan:
Tomatoes
Strawberries
Bell Peppers
Green Beans
Peas
Herbs (undecided on which ones)
Wild Asparagus
Sunflowers
I think this is a good selection for my first year. I'll be growing my blueberries, peppers, cucumbers, green beans and peas in buckets, using the trellis board that is covering the deck railings, for support. My strawberries and herbs will grow in a canvas multi-shoe holder, and hang on the deck railing. My tomatoes will grow upside down in canvas bags, hanging on the opposite side of the deck railing.
I have to build some sort of metal mesh covering for my strawberries, or the birds will have their way with them.
I'm planting the Wild Asparagus on a friends property. It should come back every year.
The sunflowers will grow next to the shed that's on this property. I will attempt to harvest the seeds for the oil that is in them.
Exciting times ahead!
What's growing in your garden this year?
