| A green pepper grows in mid June |
This Bed excites me the most. We are blessed with a small house on a .42 acre lot (in a great neighborhood too!). Most of the lot lies between the house's front door and the street. With a sunny location and nothing but some weedy lawn, I thought this would be the perfect place for a small veggie and herb garden. The bed is only 4 foot wide by about 10 feet long. I pulled out the first couple inches of weed and dirt and added a few bags of miracle grow garden soil. I put in 4 tomato plants, a green bell pepper, carnival carrots, yellow straightneck squash, basil, rosemary, dill, oregano, parsley. Some marigolds brighten up the edges, and I plan to stick in some sunflower seeds to please my toddler daughter. Unfortunately, when I tried to expand the bed to the east, I found that there was only about 3 inches of soil over old crumbling asphalt! Who would do that?? Anyway, I can only go west now, but that's alright. I'm starting small, next year we'll try some lettuce, broccoli, hot peppers. I'm excited!
