My father has been gardening for as long as I can remember. Or at least, ordering me to run around and plant everything.
Now that he has gotten a little bit older, it's my turn.
Before I forget, I told @cjclaro that I would tag him so he can see my garden!
The first thing I did was create an irrigation system. This allows me to water the garden hands free, and it also prevents mud to be splashed onto all the fruit/vegetables.
Tomato plants for example, should not get wet when being watered. So I thought this would be a reading project.
I started by grabbing PVC pipes, measure them to the length of my garden, and cut them. I drilled very small holes on the sides so water would come out.
I also drilled small holes in the bottom so water wouldn't stay in the pipes.
Next I got valves, so I could water the garden in different segments. For example, one valve let's me water the tomatoes, one my leafy greens and one my vegetables.
Next I basically just planted everything I wanted in the sections I thought would work well, kept the soil moist, and slowly I was rewarded with awesome fruits/veggies.
I planted zucchinis-
Carrots-
Beets, both red and gold-
Tomatoes of course-
And som
Some other random things like watermelon and sunflowers.
And some spices likes dill, mint and basil-
Now I get fresh veggies all summer long :) no pesticides, hormones, and the reward of a little hard work!
Let me know if you have any questions about how to start your own garden!
Fresh salad everyday!
Until next time!
