It may be winter, but I have already got gardening and spring on the brain. Of course with Baby Aiden on the way in early spring, I would like to have seedlings ready to be planted in the ground or close anyway, so that my wonderful hubby will be able to plant with ease and without my help. Here is the 3 raised garden beds that are already in. I am very excited to use them as I have never used raised beds before. I am little concerned about space, but have been reading about how to interplant and succession plantings.
Here is the space on the other side of the beds along with the compost ball. The compost ball is currently not in use and my parents say it doesn't work very well but I think I am going to attempt to use it after I read alittle more about them. Now back to the space at hand...currently there are Raspberries and Loganberries, however the Loganberries have taken over so they are coming out and I think we are going to put in two more raised beds.
This is one of the beds up close.
So far I have decided that I am going to go ahead and start some Brussel Sprouts and Peas for sure. Both will be ready in early spring for our enjoyment.

Raised bed gardening is the best! I always lived on a farm until I moved here 6 years ago. Until that time, I always had a conventional row garden. Now that I have gardened in raised beds...I will never go back. My 230 square foot of beds yielded 410 lbs of produce last year!
ReplyDeleteI interplant, succession plant and grow crops vertically along the edge of the beds with other crops in the beds. You will be amazed how much you can grow.....I do however, add compost at least two times a year.
We recently put in beds too! And I can't wait to try them out! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteRaised beds and containers are the best! My vote is put in long raised beds where the berries are. Put in another dog fence by the cedar tree and move the berries between the fences and build an arbor at the opening. The dogs won't miss another 8 feet or so. Of course, this is none of my business...happy gardening:)
ReplyDeleteIts really fantastic.With improved technology, LED grow light are being used by commercial and residential gardeners to grow Hydroponics plants through their entire growth and bloom cycle.
