No quilting last weekend. A new community garden has been started in a park near where we live, and we decided to rent a plot to try some vegetable gardening. Where we live, we have barely any property, let alone enough sunlight for veggie gardening. It is brand new and has no fence or rainbarrels yet, but I have been told we will get them.
Here's our plot (below), the southwest corner. More space than I need, I think! I will probably share the rest with the neighbour!
On Sunday my dad helped me rough in 2, 4'x4' square plots. I got this book out of the library about
square foot gardening, it made vegetable gardening sound easy and not overwhelming, so why not give it a go?
The hardest part was building this trellis for our vine climbing veggies.
Got some good rain the last 2 days, didn't have to go down to water, but I did check to make sure my garden didn't wash away! There are lots of people who have kids running around there, my mom thought we might trap some children in our trellis contraption. Ha, I checked, we didn't catch a single one!...and it is still standing!
We have had a lot of rain lately and our gardens are very plush and lots of weeds too! But my tomato plants are huge! and I've even got a few fruit on them! Just waiting for them to ripen.
In the mean time I have been eating lots of radishes!
