It's 4 feet by 4 feet. I used to plant tomatoes, cucumbers, snap peas and others. I got the idea for a small vegetable garden from a book, Square Foot Gardening. I did it to cut back from a larger garden I had in past years.
Last year with my health problems I let Lynette plant sunflowers because they were easy and I did not have to get involved.
This year I want to make it an herb garden, maybe in pots or containers. That way I can move some of them indoors when it gets cold.
This is how it looks today, after I cleared out the weeds. It took about an hour. The weather was perfect, not too hot or cold or windy.
Last Fall I threw our Halloween pumpkin into the garden. I was going to put it with the trash but never got to it. I forgot.
This is all that's left of the pumpkin, only the seeds.
A closer view ~>
These seeds have already begun to sprout. I did not have the heart to kill them so I buried them.
Maybe this year we'll have a pumpkin patch with a few herb plants squeezed in!

ReplyDeleteSounds like a great plan. However, pumpkins have a tendency to take over... You may want to keep your herbs in hanging baskets or containers.
I'll do that. Thanks
DeleteLooks like you will have a pumpkin or two this year. An herb garden is a good idea.
ReplyDeleteThat pumpkin has a strong will to live on!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea a small bed to have a garden. At least you were sensible and realized you couldn't garden back then, many would be too stubborn to admit it.
ReplyDeleteHerb garden sounds like a great idea with a pumpkin or two...how about a tomato plant. Just one or two!
