One month into the project...



Hey folks...I thought I saved my post from a couple of weeks ago but apparently I didn't so here is my update...

This picture is from when I planted into my garden a couple of weeks ago. These were my two seedlings. I started them in pots and transplanted them at two weeks.

I am trying to grow my entire garden using organic fertilizers, pest protection, etc. One of the first things I need to do is get rid of the wood frame. I figured it would be a good use of wood from an old swing set in the yard, but treated wood is an organic no no so I am now looking for stone to build a border with instead. since my yard is fenced, critters aren't an issue, unless you count my dog who likes to sniff the squash and beans in another part of the garden.

Now here is a picture I took of the same two plants today. It looks like they've grown about a foot in the past couple of weeks and I just gave them their first meal of Garrett Juice so I'm expecting a big pop soon...Happy growing everyone!
