Let me count the ways.
So here it is my friends. My new garden...ahhhhhh....no, lets take one more moment to look ......
Isn't it pur-dy!!! This is one of reasons we purchased this beautiful 2.72 acres. It's so I could have a large garden, plant tons of plants, and do all those wonderful gardening things that I have dreamed of for such a long time.
I am starting with four 10 x 4 beds with room to grow more. We got compost from the local landfill and topsoil from Lowes. After a long debate of raised beds or directly in the ground I decided to go with beds because we don't own a tiller and the ground is quite rocky in our pastures. I also just LOVE the look of raised beds. Each little bed is a world of it's own. Someday I will have adorable little paths in between and a beautiful fence around. In the meantime though these make me extremely happy. Because the winter has been crazy and I really didn't know what the beds would be until recently I haven't come up with a garden plan, but I'm crazy anxious to start. So I went with the very unscientific way of planting...alphabetical order. These are my cooler weather crops so we'll see how it goes and what wonderful lessons this garden can teach me. I'll update all summer with pictures since photographing my garden is one of my favorite things to do.
Okay signing off to go dream of seedlings.
