organic garden - 05:21 PM
(filed under 'green living')
i've started to grow my own little organic garden out in my postage stamp sized yard. i was originally intending to get rid of all the grass & use all of the small grassed area, but after some advice i decided it might be better to just stick with some big tubs & various pots. it makes more sense that way since i can then move them around as i need to.
i took a few pics already. here are two of them.
keep in mind that they look a little wilted & droopy because the pics were taken minutes after i planted them. i'm looking forward to them picking up a bit in the next few days as their roots start to spread out & get comfortable.
i planted some veggies (carrots & various types of lettuce) & some herbs (rosemary, parsely, lemon thyme, basil, & mint). i sort of figured i'd be starting from seed, but it makes sense to use seedlings. i started a bit late in the season, so at least with seedlings i'm off to a better start. once i get into the swing of it, then perhaps i'll think about starting some plants from seed.
you can see the whole set here, if you're that interested.
Ooo... That is a nice little garden you have going, Coralie.
Those carrots do look interesting.
I think it looks great. If you find yourself getting into it, you could always turn your little patch of grass into a garden later on. I'd love to help you set that up, I need another holiday!
