Int the Pacific Northwest It's time to begin planning your garden. Growing your own food is rewarding and relatively easy. That is if you like playing outside in the dirt!
I filled my garden bed with brown leaves that will compost down and augment the soil. I will order seeds from an organic seed company. We will start seeds inside in the next couple of weeks. Right now in Olympia we can plant many varieties of peas including Sweet Pea (flowers.)
We will plant:
Romaine Lettuce
Carrots, purple and orange
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Kale
Onions
Peas, snap
Peas
We are already growing:
Apples
Blueberries
Raspberries
Send me pictures of your garden!
I really have to get on this whole gardening thing this year. Thanks for the reminder!!!
ReplyDeleteYou should really consider container gardening your first year. Then you have less to deal with as far as weeds and such. You can plant starts from GRUB (based in Olympia) and grow some favorites like lettuce, squash, cucumbers, tomatoes and plant seeds of snap peas.
ReplyDeleteI know you have a little one and it's so fun to eat tomatoes and peas off the vines with your children!
