Welcome
to my garden!: The plot
I don’t have a lot of sun in my yard for a
garden but I have desperately wanted one for years. This year I decided I
wanted to try and utilize the small patch of full sun that runs beside my
driveway. My next challenge was to put together a garden as cheaply as
possible. So I found a web-site that has
lots of interesting ways to reuse pallets and one way was to use them laid down flat
and plant in them. I loved that idea as
it is cheap and fairly easy, so I showed my boyfriend the picture and asked him
if he could help me get the pallets and fix them up. Well after a couple of
hours of hard work I actually ended up with some raised beds made out of the
pallet wood and the fencing material and posts came from my boyfriend’s dad’s
house. Love my recycled garden
enclosure!!
The sticks all along the top of the fence are to hopefully deter the deer from jumping the fence and enjoying my garden. So far I have 5 varieties of tomatoes, jalapenos, Anaheim chilies,basil,rosemary,cilantro,peppermint and lemon balm. I was going for a salsa garden but there are always more things I want to grow. I have been spraying the tomatoes and pepper plants with Epsom salts and water and have about 8 peppers and two tomatoes growing! I have lots more room to add stuff and I plan on adding more as the summer goes along and look forward to trying some winter crops too!
