Seedlings!!!
The garden is officially started!
Green beans, peas, rainbow bell peppers, green onions and an Italian Tomato Tree are the veggies going in. Herbs include: rosemary, parsley, sweet basil, sage and chives. I also have 3 sunflowers sprouted, to grow for the oil that is in their seeds. Fruit will be strawberry plants.
Due to property restrictions, I'm putting in a straw bale garden.
Example of a Straw Bale Garden
Basically, you put a thin layer of compost (I'm using horse manure/shavings), then a thicker layer of dirt, followed by more compost, mixed with mulch. Then you plant your seedlings directly into the mulch, and the roots grow down into the straw.
I'm also incorporating a rain barrel, to collect water for the garden.
