Really? I’ll give it one more try next summer. Hubby wasn’t here yet, so I only pulled the grass off a spot and called it a garden. next year we’ll rototill and even fertilize, LOL. Loosening the earth should give the beets and carrots a chance. If they don’t get bigger after that, I’ll give up and stick to other vegetables.
I’m not much of a gardener. It’s laughable that I’m seen on the FR gardening thread. I can barely grow a tomato. :)
We break up the dirt, add compost and manure and cover with straw.
I start a bunch of seedlings and just throw a bunch out there and hope something sticks.
We live in a rental in town, so not much space. The garden is on the perimeter of the yard and a couple of beds in the middle.
We had a drought last year so couldn’t grow much. It usually turns out to be salsa and spaghetti sauce, salad and squash in a good year. Gotta have home grown maters. We usually have cilantro, basil and chives and parsley. Oregano and mint are in there for good.
Mmmm. Fresh herbs are nice.
I can’t grow beets or onions. I think our dirt is too hard or something. Lots of clay.
