Garden Update - May 2018 - Clearing the Veg Patch
May was a busy busy time. There was a lot that was done... beginning with actually preparing the space for the garden.
The area I had picked had South and East exposure with sun through all early morning and with shade creeping from the wall side (call it North Side of the garden) from about 11am till evening. Still, the Southern most part of the garden continues to get some, if weak, sun all day.
This spot originally housed a maple tree with pachysandra as ground cover. The first order of the day was to weed out the tangled mess of pachysandra that was this plant to create a tillable area of 80 square feet for vegetable garden this year.
Garden Chronicles: March - April 2018 - The Beginning
When I asked on Insta Polls, I received overwhelming support for blogging about my garden! Thank you very much. I am really gratified by your interest. And, so I am starting this series to share my experiences and learnings!
This first post talks about starting seeds indoors before the frost goes away. Many of the seeds were started 8 weeks before the last frost in my region. I have included my experiences with germinating and seeding peas, tomatoes and peppers, as well as tips on how to keep them healthy, as I learnt through the process of the first 8 weeks.
