Urban Farming
It's been a few years since we've had a veggie garden. I've been tempted to put one in again for several years, but this year we finally did it. I built 2 raised beds and filled them with a mixture of topsoil, compost from our yard and composted steer manure. I've had several gardens over the last 35 years, and raised beds always seem the most productive and easy to maintain.
We planted tomatoes, lettuce, corn, bok choy, soybeans, cucumbers, cantaloupe, squash, basil, spinach, carrots, beans, and peppers. We also planted pole beans and sunflowers in beds next to the garage.
If we have good results, I'll add more beds next year. We have room for a dozen 4'x8' beds on our side lawn. Next thing to come will likely be chickens...
Raised beds, guard flamingo and Earth flag, veteran of several antiwar marches.
We also tried out the "upside-down thingie" for a tomato and some basil.
