I've started planning my garden. I'm a fairly new gardener - this is my fourth or fifth year gardening in my backyard - and I learn something new every season.
For example:
- I need to have more raised beds. Last year was the last time that I used a traditional garden. John made me three raised beds last year, and I loved them. This year, that's all I'm doing.
- I should continue to plant around 20 tomato plants. We eat them fresh, I do a lot of canning, and will still give a lot of surplus tomatoes away to friends, neighbors, and coworkers.
- I need to tend to my fresh herbs more carefully. Last year they were burned by the sun very early and once I did get them to flourish, I didn't harvest them regularly.
- I'd like to grow cucumbers this year. I had a TON of cucs a few years ago, but now that my pickles are running low, it's time to plant a few more.
- If I can get my hands on some old pallets or scrap wood (for FREE!), I need to look into building little planter boxes for my porch. I'm confident I can make them look chippy, and therefore beautiful.
- If possible, I'd like to move an old wooden craftsman table from our basement and use it as a garden table in our backyard. There's a perfect shady spot right behind John's garage that's near the rain barrels that would work well. I'd be able to wash my veggies outside and work on garden tasks at a comfortable standing position, instead of being hunched over on the ground.
- Mulching is essential!
- More rain barrels couldn't hurt either.
- Succession gardening would be really beneficial for us - I need to put everything down on paper and/or use some of the resources in my urban farming books to plan this out. In the past, I've just been too lazy to figure out the rotations.
- I need to spend time in the garden every morning. Last year I spent a lot of time in the garden in the evenings, but I think getting out there before the heat of the day hits the plants would be more appropriate.
Either way, I'm looking forward to more of this:
(nurturing, mulching, trimming, watering, etc.) |
And less of this:
(freaking out about a severe drought that killed off all of my leaf lettuce way earlier than anticipated) |
Over and out.
