Culled from a couple of recent posts to norcalgardening, because I just found this community:
1)
I'm pretty happy. I've got a rough plan for my square-foot gardening scheme. I'll probably be doing tomatoes, cukes, broccoli (I know it may not grow if it gets too hot), marigolds, bush beans, beets, cabbage, carrots, basil, radishes, and lettuce. If I've got enough space, I'll also do pole beans, garlic, onions, melon or squash, and zucchini.
So I guess this is my new hobby. I haven't had a new hobby in a long time, and I've been trying to get this going since we moved here, more than two years ago, so I'm beyond excited.
I'm also going to build or buy some vertical frames for the climbing stuff (tomatoes, cukes, pole beans, and believe it or not melons/winter squash). I will go looking at the garden store, and if they don't have what I need, I'll build it myself.
*bounce*!
2)
I went to see my garden plot, and I'm very excited. it's much larger than I thought it would be, and it includes an apple tree that I get to take care of and take apples from. Very cool! I am going to be going to the store the next day or two to get the things I need to build my planter boxes and vertical frames. I have total New Project Energy, and it's a blast.
Plus, friends are already donating starts for my little project, which makes me feel really taken care of.
How does your garden grow?
