2015 garden
Sick enough to not be at work but not too sick to not be bored.
I think that this is my first post for the 2015 garden.
First, state of the winter garden -- I have three double-dug beds in my guerrilla garden across the street, about 6m by 1m. Last year these beds were struck heavily by late blight, so I won't be planting any tomatoes or potatoes in there this year.
Instead, I'll be digging two new beds in the back yard and planting my tomatoes there. That means a lot of digging this spring. This year I plan to grow:
3 kinds of tomato
1-2 kinds of potato
quinoa
sweet corn
cabbage
squash
peas
onion
broccoli
carrots
peanuts
So, I'm thinking tomatoes and potatoes in the back yard beds, corn and quinoa in bed #1, onions, peas and broccoli in bed #2, and squash, cabbage and peanuts in bed #3.
I have not had much luck with the peas because I've been waiting too long to harvest them, and then they're all blah and starchy.
It's been so cold, and then with classes and work and kids and all, I haven't done much more than make plans in my head. It's time to dig out the starter pots and see if I've got any money for potting soil.
