My First Garden

Through the years I have tried little growing projects, most of which never work out. This will be my first actual garden if I get going soon.

I found this great site through Pinterest that can plan your garden for you. So I punched in my info, "built" my garden beds, picked out my plants and set it to work. It alerted me about plants that wouldn't work for the season or my climate so I could attempt to make location appropriate decisions. It wants to sell you it's fancy plants, but I'll just be subbing the seeds I can buy locally. I didn't love it's actual plant arrangement, so I rearranged all that myself.

A breakdown of recommended plant time and estimated harvest time, as well as other info for each plant in my garden




My designed and planned garden plot (this is just for my winter garden, the empty beds will be planted starting in January)


It creates a to-do list on a timeline for you so you can just follow along. I'm going to do succession planting for a lot of my veggies and see how it all turns out!

This weeks to-do

Next on the list is to build some raised garden beds from leftover pallet wood...
