My small garden | Food Production and Preservation | Forums

Here's my first attempt at a garden. I was going to do a square foot garden like all of you on here but I had my dad helping me and ended up going with his idea for now. If I enjoy the garden like I think I will then I plan on starting a SFG next year. I think for now what I have will be a lot of tun though.

First we found a spot for the garden, right on the side of the house where I don't have anything going on.

Next we used railroad ties to build the garden. Bought some plants as well. Not doing seeds this year.

Finally we filled everything in with real nice topsoil (my father makes his own) and planted everything.

We planted tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, green bell peppers, eggplant, string beans and cucumbers. I have two planters on my deck that I'll be doing hot peppers in. That's it for now, I'll post more pictures when things grow a bit.
