Kelly's 2008 Vegetable garden

Created on Saturday, 17 May 08

The new garden, dug up from scratch, and created to satiate my need to grow my own food. This time, in my own house!

Added 60 lbs of organic composted mushroom manure to the mix just to plump up the soil a bit. Came with excellent soil however, barely needed any work.

Final plot size: 12ft by 14ft.

    Wow Kelly, what a smashing display of edibles and herbs! I admire your commitment, starting everything so early indoors. You always grow tasty and colorful stuff. Best of luck with this year’s vegetable garden.

    Thanks Robert! In a climate like mine if I want any sort of bounty I basically have to start everything indoors very early, hah! Let’s just hope the now only 6 hours of sun due to the big monster house being built next door doesn’t hurt my crop too much!
