Hello Everyone,
Today marks the first day of my garden in Upstate New York.
It's also my first garden ever, outdoors that is :D
So let's see what I have going on here..
Chuck Hafners Farmers' Market & Garden Center
I stopped by a local garden center in Upstate New York yesterday to grab some starter plants.
I was pretty impressed with not only the variety they had, but also how healthy everything was.
I acquired:
- Tomatoes
- Cucumbers
- Squash
- Eggplant
- Red Bell Peppers
- Green Bell Peppers
I got it all set up and all of the small plants in the soil today.
This is somewhat of a rough draft.. because this fencing is not sturdy enough due to the stakes being too short, but it's not a big deal because I have more of these stakes. Tomorrow I will simply drill some into the already staked stakes, effectively increasing the height of them, and will staple it up good. They are from an old crib in the basement here, just recycling stuff to save a little money..
My biggest worry is animals digging up underneath this plastic fencing. I may need to enforce the bottom with 2X4's or something if animals start assaulting the crop.
I couldn't make it as wide as I was hoping, due to concrete foundation being under the top soil for old clothes hangers. It's alright though because I feel this little patch is ample space for my garden.
We can see here with these photos that this fencing is not proper, but it will be when I'm done with it tomorrow.
The soil in this garden feels very fertile in my hands. I think this patch has been gardened before, and everything feels right.
And that put's a smile on Futuremind's face.
I'm not sure what I'll fill the empty space with yet but I'm open to suggestions! ;D
Thank you for stopping by.
Have a great day! -
