Whats In Your Garden?

Well the time has come for me to plan out our garden! YAY! This is easily one of my favorite things to do. I love to sit with a nice cup of tea and plan and hope PRAY that everything grows as planned. So I thought I would share it with you and maybe get some ideas for our garden from all of you sweet people.

We have put in a tiny garden for the past few years and honestly, it sucked. I think there were a few things that played a role in our unsuccessful gardens. 1) Not enough sunlight 2) crappy seeds and 3) bugs. This year we are going at this with a new approach and hoping for the best.

We are planning to put in raised bed garden. Has anyone ever done one before? In the past we had just tilled a plot of land for our veggies but this time we would like to step up our garden game. This is a few of the Pinterest ideas I found that I liked.

                      I love the chicken wire material around the top to keep any pests away ;)

               
                    This is very simple yet very doable. Probably what I am leaning towards most.

I like the idea behind the U shaped boxes. It makes for much easier access when weeding the garden. What do you think?

When I plan out my garden I always make a list of what we want and then I plot it out by what plants are compatible and which are not.

Here is some of what we plan to plant:

• beans
• cucumbers
• tomatoes
• peppers
• lettuce
• squash
• radish
• turnip
• onion

Another thing we are excited to do this year is start our seeds in doors. We have been blessed with a beautiful sun room that will be perfect for all our seed babies.This will be a great educational idea to do with your kids at home. I have been saving toilet paper rolls to plant seeds in. (stay tuned for that one) Here is a list of when seeds should be started indoors

I will post as soon as we start our seeds and keep you updated on how that is going.  Let me know any tips you have for starting our raised bed gardens. I am so excited to start this out and I hope for a better return then we have had in the past. I am hoping to get into a schedule of posting more regularly but for now, check back next week for a new post :)

Thanks for stopping by,
