About me

I am a first time vegetable gardner. I have been bending ears of everyone I can to learn about soil, fertilizers, when to plant what. I have a raised bed that has been sitting for years just waiting for me to get going. I have been adding soil amendments all along the the worms are happy as can be. I just planted califlower, snap peas, five differant kinds of lettuce, cucumber, squash, tomatoes, some herbs, peppers red/green Trying one eggplant for fun. Some experimental carrots that I bought from a man who grows and brings his stuff to our Farmers Market on Sundays. He had tons of hints for me. The carrots are a mixed bag....small and various colors, red, yellow, purple, orange. So, we will see how green my thumb actually is. He also gave me a tio to plant alfalfa in a corner and said that the bugs love it good and bad, therefore they fight over it and stay away from your veggies...I will keep you updated on that. I just saw today that the seeds are just showing a big of their faces. I am trying not to be anxious but .......am ! ha! We have quite a few fruit trees . Two types of oranges, tangerine, Fuji Apple, Plum, Necturine, two types of peach, pear, Meyer lemons, Persimmon, Avacados (are you gettng jelous yet) Pomagranete, and I planted a blueberry bush that we actally got a nice little crop out of this year. My neighbor planted a rasberry bush to which grows along our fence likne so we were able to reap some of that (he said okay) It is a very busy garden and so much fun. This looks like a fun site. Pam
