Spring garden planting time! Boo and I planted the first round yesterday. That little green pot holds the one wild onion she wouldn’t let me get rid of. She’s planting her own findings in random pots.
I’d made a plan for the garden so I would remember what I planted so that we can make notes on what we like and how it grew:
These cute little metal markers are from Michaels and I added black tape and wrote with gold Sharpie:
I never really knew about crop rotation or understood it but as we planted the sees it kind of clicked! The kale and broccoli seeds are round. The lettuces have long grass looking seeds. And the carrots have more of a dehydrated seed look. Maybe this won’t be so hard after all!
You can read more about how we made the raised beds and picket fence here!
You can also plant companion veggies. Carrots love tomatoes and so forth. Just google it and you will find a plethora online. Don’t forget to plant marigold with your veggies, they help drive away unwanted bugs. I have had good success over the years with that.
Getting my beds ready as soon as the snow melts, so much for spring break and time off when everything’s buried in a foot of snow!
