Our raised beds are also pretty high so we don't have many critter issues at all. Our carrot seeds just sprouted 2 days ago, they are such cuties!Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18105230863864635836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029445551851503766.post-19867005650663753992010-05-13T07:29:34.642-05:002010-05-13T07:29:34.642-05:00You are really organised.

But, I figure I will learn as I go (though, I am pretty sure I am purchasing How To Grow More Vegetables!) <br /><br />I love that you have a rhubarb plant, I so wish I had one. And that is quite funny to picture toting plants through a seeming drug deal. Reminds me of when I lived in Baltimore. And you have raspberry plants? How neat. <br /><br />I love seed savers too - I ordered purple bean plants from them, and next week will be getting my tomatoes shipped, can't wait!<br /><br />Anyway, I am so excited to see your garden progress!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13827307895107359809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029445551851503766.post-39638027565504492122010-05-12T11:39:11.251-05:002010-05-12T11:39:11.251-05:00Yay for gardening!

I started the spring with the best of intentions (including a few classes, elaborate sketches of our backyard, etc.), but I have seeds that have yet to make it out of their packets! And a lot of other seedlings failed . . . I ended up buying starter plants at the farmers market. I just need to cut myself a break and focus on the baby right now, I suppose!<br /><br />Can't wait to see all the (literal) fruits of your labor and what you do with them!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11617988780795755116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029445551851503766.post-4021859391258045242010-05-12T07:52:46.019-05:002010-05-12T07:52:46.019-05:00Here is very common to use the companion technique...Here is very common to use the companion technique, and there is an organism (the agro technology institute, or something like that) that gives you seeds for free each spring and autumn.<br />We have a small raised bed, we built it last month with Oz. We planted directly on the ground (we also lost it with the inside starters...).<br />You can see it here:<br />http://juliealvarez.blogspot.com/2010/04/el-jardin-comestible-edible-garden.html<br />And the seed details is in the notes here:<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/juliealvarez/4506374083/in/set-72157623821909314/Julie Alvarezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03186797770940729751noreply@blogger.com
