- 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.

“coriander” for the fans in the UK? Or are you switching? Looks like a good list. Are you accepting CSA members?
