  • I’m making some big changes to the garden this year. Went from several small raised beds adding up to about 70 sqft to two large wood beds with about 110 sqft.

    I’m in 6b and started seeds inside a week or so ago, mostly cold resistant stuff like kale and cabbage. I figured it would take a couple weeks for them to germinate, but of course they all sprouted within a few days and now I’m trying to keep them alive until it’s warm enough to go outside. I even ended up buying a cheap plastic greenhouse to have enough space.

    Generally, I do a lot of tomatoes and peppers, as well as some squashes, onions, carrots, and beans. Grew potatoes last year on a whim in a cloth planter and it worked really well, so I’ll be trying that again.

    I’m going to try and grow corn this year. I know it’s not ideal for such a small garden, but I ordered some seeds that are supposedly good for patio gardening so I hope they’ll do ok.

    I’m hoping to add a ton of native flowers too, gotta get those pollinators.
