Garden Tilled

We’ve got the garden spots tilled for the first time. I’ll have to do it a couple more times before we start planting. We were going to do a bigger one this year but with my health we decided to keep it small again and maybe go bigger next year.

I’ve still got to get my herb garden spot ready to till but at least I’ve decided where I want it. Part of it will be in partial shade and the other part in full sun.

I’ve got some squash and cucumber and tomatoes already starting to sprout in the sunroom. I can’t wait. I just get to excited this time of year.

The next step is to purchase some good soil to till in with the dirt already in the garden to aid in plant growth. I also need to get some mulch and a few supplies to hold up my tomatoes and green beans and things such as that. Then I’ll just be waiting for the last frost period to begin transplanting.

Front strip gives me 3 rows
Side garden and one flower bed beside of it.

Seeds

I’m so excited. I have gotten a few vegetable seeds planted this past week and am waiting on the sprouts to start. I love growing things.

I have decided this year that I will be planting a small herb garden. I’ve only grown a few herbs here and there in the past so this will be a first for me. A new adventure that I can’t wait to have.

I’ve been reading and researching a lot on herbal concoctions that have been used for some of the same health issues that I have and I’m going to try some of them. I’m hoping to have success with them like other people have had.

I’ll be getting the space ready for the herb garden over the next month or so. Some of them will be grown in pots indoors as I’ve read that’s how a few of them grow the best. I’ll post at a later date which are in the garden and which are in pots as I’m still getting that all worked out.

As daylight starts being longer and warmer days start coming I get more excited and anxious about my planting and seeing the beauty of it all. Being able to grow my own fruits and vegetables is so very rewarding for me. I have a passion for it.

Growing Season Coming

As winter is getting ready to leave I’m starting to get the sunroom ready to start planting seeds for spring and summer garden transplanting. I have to get all my pots and tables where I want them and then I can start filling them with dirt.

This year I’ll be growing broccoli, corn, green beans, tomatoes, squash, zucchini, pumpkins, cucumbers, green peppers, jalapeno peppers, potatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe, carrots, greens, peas, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, onions, green onion, blackberries, lettuce, cabbage and strawberries. Some of these I’ll be growing in buckets and the rest will go in the gardenbed.

I get so excited this time of year. I love growing things and being able to can it to enjoy whenever i want. That way it doesn’t matter if it’s in season or not. I make sauces and jellies and soups to can too. It saves quite a bit off the grocery bill as well.

Once I finish getting the sunroom prepared I’ll start planting my seeds and babying them until they go in the ground. I save coffee and creamer cans and the cat litter buckets to plant in. No need to buy planters when I’m constantly using things that can be recycled.

I’ll be adding another shelf on top of the white table in the corner.
