Well, I know it’s been awhile since I’ve updated this blog. I’ve been busy being Lazy…!
Here’s a picture of my garden, it’s doing pretty good, despite the late start. My tomatoes especially are doing well.
Yes, it’s a big picture. I have 13 boxes and it was hard to get them all in one picture.
Gardening is a lot of fun! And pretty easy, too.
This fall, I’m planning to buy a couple of yards of compost/manure mix to spread over the boxes to prepare them for an even better season next year.
I’ve already spread several bags of the stuff, but buying by the truckload is cheaper.
I have several plans for next year, based on stuff I’ve learned this year:
- 1st, I plan to start everything earlier. Way earlier. I got a pretty late start this year.
- More beets. Mom loves them when they are about the size of a radish, so I need a lot more.
- More broccoli. I hate it, but mom loves it.
- More spinach, chard, kale, and some types of lettuce.
- More carrots, they aren’t growing very well this year. Perhaps they will like next year’s soil better.
- More peppers, mine aren’t doing so well this year.
- More tomatoes. Mine are doing well, but I need more!
- More cucumbers.
- Lots more onions! We eat them as scallions/green onions, only letting a few get big. And we use an average of 1 per day, so need more.
- Radishes also very popular.
- Plant the garlic very early.
- Purple onions!
- Peas!
- Basil: mine just won’t sprout this year.
- Compost: need to start making my own.
- Start flowers (flower bed couldn’t fit into the picture) indoors. Plus spread compost over the bed. Most of my flower seeds didn’t sprout this year.
And my big dream project for next year: a proper watering system! Maybe with a timer!
Now, I’m off to be lazy in the kitchen….
