Restarting the garden

[Branching Out]

Looks your container garden is well on its way. My dad always says 'by the time you finish a project, you have a pretty good idea of how it should have been done in the first place.'

Hindsight is always 20/20!

I used heavy plastic under the pavers when I first installed them by the pond. It worked very well, except around the edges. Lol. It'll be converted back to pasture space.


Didn't want to drive back down to haul the rest if these and get filthy yet again. So, I shoved them all in!


There's 2 tall stacks behind the ones on the right! *phew* Van was slowly sagging lower and lower.
Uploaded by the house and ready to be rinsed & reused!


Also dug up more old pots and a scraper for the chicken coop. Idk how people throw anything away.

Okay. About 55 pavers washed and in place. Sucks the idea didn't come up before I filled the metal beds.

The old 4oclocks bag will be dumped into a pot, then that tan bag will join the 2 unused tan bags on left.
idk if I'll add a 4th to make it even or not.

And I need to figure out how many plants per pot. Ideas?
Looks like there's 4 unused bags in the house. So, if I want it even, I can.
The bags are 30gal, about 25" across.

I want to put away unnecessary seed starting supplies and store those away for next year.

The strawberries!!


i can't remember jacksquat!
The 30gal of strawberries can go on the end. Then do 3 of potatoes to make the even 4.

Impressive planning and execution.

I remembered the pumpkins i have and wondered what about them....

So, here's the latest plan. And corn added, too. I'll use a thick layer of the big pile of dirt for those to grow in. I don't want weeds, maybe use the cloth or cardboard and cut holes for the corn to poke out of? Hmm

Pumpkins will be directed to the fence surrounding the yard. That way, they're taking up less space.

I hope I haven't forgotten anything else, bc, wtf me?

I like how you put your garden at the base of what looks like your back porch! Easy access!

the closer the garden is to the house the more likely you are to do something in it plus it helps keep some of the critters away. in permaculture it is often called Zone 1.

Yes, and you can run out and grab a veggie or two really quick while you are cooking! I had a garden that was situated right outside our back door a few years back and Id often run outside and grab some green onions or herbs while cooking.

It's actually the front. When we had the house built, I had them point it at the mountains, not the road and neighbors.
