– we’re planting a vegetable garden! –


ryan and i are beginning to plan our very first vegetable and herb garden. we’ve been composting for over a year and have planted a few vegetables here and there, but this summer we’ve got big plans. we carved out a sunny 16′ by 10′ spot in the middle of our backyard, found some helpful info on the uga center for urban agriculture website, and we’re off!

we need to do a bit more research, come up with a planting schedule, and finalize our vegetable and herb list based on our garden space; but here’s our wish list:

  • tomatoes
  • tomatillos
  • bell peppers
  • broccoli
  • onion
  • garlic
  • shallots
  • squash
  • zucchini
  • okra
  • radishes
  • asparagus
  • cucumbers
  • artichokes
  • blueberries
  • strawberries
  • watermelon
  • cantaloupe
  • corn
  • basil
  • rosemary
  • chives
  • mint
  • cilantro/coriander

we took some before photos and will post updates as the summer progresses. the garden will be under the blue tarp you see in the photos.
