Boxes, Plants, and Seeds

These are some of the vegetable plants I bought. One eggplant, 2x broccoli, 1x zucchini, 4x tomatoes.


My dad and I put in 4, 4x4 boxes. Far left will be tomatoes, far right will be the zucchini, front left, I planted a row of peas and a row of carrots, leaving space for another row of peas in carrots that I will plant in a month. Front right has the egg plant and broccoli and I planted a row of bush bean seeds, leaving room for another row of beans in a month. In the middle I planted a mound with cucumber seeds on each side and a couple of sunflowers in the middle for fun!

Spring 2010!


So it begins again, my friends! Finally, found some time to haul myself down to the garden, so so busy, I almost thought I wouldn't be able to do it this year, but I am glad I did. All the plots are taken and if I didn't do it this year, I probably wouldn't be able to get in next year...so here goes!

They straightened up the boundaries and I think created extra plots, so I am about where I was last year, but I have a neighbour to the south of me. Don't worry neighbour, I've decided to skip doing the pumpkin thing this year, so it won't take over your plot!

I've weeded it and raked it...and roughed in 4 squares. My plan is to plant tomatoes, beans, peas, carrots, zucchini, cucumber, and eggplant. Radishes are fun, but don't really like them. oh yes and in the middle I want to plant 4 sunflowers, just 'cause!

wish me luck! stay tuned next week: trip to the nursery!
