Our Garden

Hubby planted 16 Broccoli seeds in little cups, inside a plastic container. We just put them in my closet so that the cats won't upset them while they are germinating.

They will be planted in the staw bales when it's time.

 

I'll get a pick of them as soon as they do something interesting.

 

The baby broccoli is up.

 

Only 5 of the 16 broccoli were healthy. The others were too leggy. Hubby said they came up quicker than he though, in the closet, and he didn't get them out in time.

He will restart some more.

We got 4 straw bales yesterday and started them cooking with the ammonium sulfate. They are placed narrow side up.

 

Sounds exciting. Never grew anything that way and I can't wait to see your pics and crop!

 

Hubby plans to have about 30 straw bales.

Thanks.

This garden will be organic and he is planting heirlooms.

 

Nice! That will give you a lot of room for growing.

 

Sounds exciting. I'm interested in growing fresh veges but I don't trust my dog.

I recently saw an idea where you can have like a pull along trolley, and the garden sits in the trolley. I think I like this idea as I could move it around from harms way during weather and to keep away from the dog.

 

You could adjust the amount of sunlight it gets, as well.

 

Hubby planted 15 heads of garlic.

They are in shoe box-size plastic containers.

 

The tag on the post says Hay Bale. That's a mistake. You actually need Wheat Straw Bales.

 

Hubby got ready some buckets for the sweet peas. He drilled holes around the bottom, filled with twigs, and dead fall from pompas grass; that way he only needs about 4 inches of soil on top. In the winter, it will compost, with some worms, in it for next year.

 

Hubby got the sweet peas planted.

 

What does wifey get to do? =p

Water and pick the veges when they're ready?

 

I'm in charge of flowers and herbs, or so I hear.

 

I think it was yesterday that hubby said a sweet pea had come up.

 

Today we put in seeds for 15 Butter Crunch Lettuce.

 

I planted seeds for two kinds of Marigolds, Valerian, Sage, and Lavender.
