Spring has sprung!

Spring !


Well spring is finally on its way! In fact the first day of spring is on Friday- March 20th-. Spring for me means gardening, or rather getting my garden cleaned up and planned out after the long winter. I am definitely ready to get started. I feel as though I have been planning my garden all winter. I have all of these plans in my head and even a few jotted down in my notebook, and I am excited to start. This year I will be adding two large vegetable areas. I have grown a few veggies in the past two years; things like tomatoes, mini watermelons, pumpkins and even bell peppers, but this year I plan to do so much more! I already have everything from cucumbers, squash, broccoli, tomatoes, onions, corn and more in the seed form right now and I have been trying to research and learn about how to grow everything while remaining pest free. I also want to use as little bug killing chemicals as possible because I would like to stay away from introducing poison into my families food.

First Picture is of the garden area behind our garage- this is what it looked like after two years of not taking care of it...

 This second picture is when I was finally done with it, took alot of work but here is the finished product..

 This next picture is when I first planted our seedlings, they had been growing indoors on our kitchen table for almost two weeks and then I moved them outside on to our porch for a week and finally put them into the garden..they are tiny so far..but they will so be corn, tomatoes, pepper, raspberry bush, rhubarb, zucchini, cucumbers, and snap peas.

 Just another angle
