February Garden

Our garden may not look like much, but I have huge hopes for this little plot we fenced off.  It isn't the prettiest, but it's functional and will {hopefully}keep our fridge chock full of fresh veggies this summer.

 

Our garden is about 16 x 20.  We have one 4 x8 raised bed and then I am going to do some container gardening this summer using Lowe's 5 gallon buckets. 

 

The trellis on the right will be for cucumbers.  The other side will be for peas. {which I planted yesterday!} The plan for the raised bed is this:

 

cucumbers

onions

garlic

carrots

lettuce/spinach

peppers

radish

beets

brussel sprouts

eggplant

broccoli

cabbage

cauliflower



We are utilizing the square foot gardening method so some of these plants will be by their lonesome

this year.

 

I planted red potatoes in the Rubbermaid totes on the sides.  We'll see how that goes. 

The large blue pot houses my rosemary plant which I hope comes back this year.

 

 

The rest of the five gallon buckets will be for tomatoes, squash, and pole beans.  I have several smaller pots for herbs. 

 

I saw some of my onions peeking out through the soil...love it!
