Our Garden: 2009
It’s Spring. That means many things and for me, that means that it is time to get the garden going. Last year was a test run for Sheena and I as it was our first garden at our new home. As with anything, you learn what to do and what not to do after going through your first season. This year, we increased the garden from 7×15’ to 25×15’ and changed the arrangement of plants.
Central Kentucky has received a lot of rain this spring and that has been very good for the garden. After only a week, peas, tomatoes, turnips and beans are starting to show. Planting a garden is not an easy project. The soil requires preparation to reach the correct pH level and weeds must be removed on sight. This year, only a little lime and extra tilling was required. Weeding will take place as needed.
Below is a photo of the garden after two weeks. I’ll keep this post update as the season goes on.
Happy gardening!
