Garden 2009

[Undertoad]

Heh heh! The previous years garden threads went in Quality Images, Home Base, and Nothingland, depending on who started it. Now it goes in Food and Drink.



And I'm in this year. Having a strapping 22-year-old lad around to haul stuff is a fine advantage. I ordered a yard of compost to fill in what was lost after severe weeding. It's too late to start some of the cool weather crops but we will get those in for the fall. It'll be carrots and some herbs to start, and tomatoes and squash and some other veggies will go in from pre-started, purchased plants.

There was actually a harvest before this, of dill and sage that made it through two years of weed beds AND an earlier weeding. Everyone should plant herbs. They are utterly simple, and some come back every year with practically no work. Your only problem is that you will have way too much. In the 3x8 bed I may try putting in eight different herbs or something, because you ever only need a few leaves of something.
