Living to Learn
Dateline: Mar. 3, 2008
I can't belive it's March!

It is time to start preparing the ground for our garden, planning what to plant, & buying seeds! Okay You can tell I'm still not very good at this or it would be all planned & seeds ordered already. But I am learning as I go & in a few years we will have an awsome garden!

Last year we had our first garden & it went okay. The tomato , lettuce & spinach did great. The squash did great till it got a nasty fungus. I could NOT keep bugs off the broccoli, and the corn did not produce.

We hope to plant a strawberry patch this year. The kids & I would love to turn the whole back yard into a garden, but I 'm not sure my hubby is up to that much extra work.

Here is a picture of it early in it's growth. We did the square foot method. I think we will again this year for part of it at least.

Mar. 20, 2008 - Your garden looks nice

Posted by jugglingpaynes

I've found that gardening is a trial and error affair. I do recommend planting garlic and marigolds around your veggies. It will help keep some of the bugs at bay.

Peace and Laughter,
