"To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow."
- Audrey Hepburn
Every morning (and most evenings) going out to my garden helps me believe in a brighter tomorrow. Ben may joke that I care too much, but every time a plant starts popping out of the soil, I do a happy dance. Every. Time.
I have never had my own in-the-ground garden before. So the my garden plan and each vegetable variety have been rigorously researched. That said, I decided to go with a no dig garden. I've liked it quite a bit so far. It has worked nicely, even my beans seem to like it. Only a few weeds have managed to get through, for the time being. I did have an erosion problem for a bit, but I was able to solve it.
I have some kale, green beans and squash growing pretty well. Within the next week or two I will also plant some spinach and carrots. I will also do some succession planting for just about everything. I have and some thinning to do, especially on the squash.
After my fall harvest I will probably do a more in-depth review of the system and my seeds. In the mean time if you have any specific questions feel free to contact me.
