Joe's Garden: Planting time!

Joe's Garden

So, this is a place for me to put down my thoughts on my favorite time waster...organic gardening. I have come to appreciate the garden life, but have started to discover that I have a hard time remembering the lessons I learn each year. So, I am going to use this space to help me remember and provide another way for me to share my garden.

Planting time!

I am making all of my new beds using ranch panels that are cut in half along their longest point (16ft) for the sides and the ends are ranch panel quarters. These seem to be the perfect size for my garden.

As you can see in the background, I have a few bags of leaves to chip up yet and have been a bit lazy about getting down to business. I hope to have them all chipped up before May planting comes around.

My cold frame is producing quite nicely as well - at least enough for a nice salad every other day. I replanted some of the cold frame a few weeks ago and there are hundreds of little lettuce plants coming in...I am excited to see the cold frame start paying for itself.

I guess I am just happy to be out in the garden getting my hands dirty again. It is nice to get away from the daily grind...
