I've been gardening a lot lately. I started off small... last year i could barely grow anything and this year I started with a small planter box and after eating 2 weeks of salad picked fresh from the backyard, I have upgraded. Last weekend I built a 2'x6'x1.5' planter box and this weekend I finally got around to planting. It was lots of fun - I went to the lumberyard with my measurements and they cut everything for me. From there I just bought a crapload of dirt, mulch and fertilizer. Seeds and plants to boot.So far we have the following planting, growing or breaking out of seeds:
- Assorted lettuce
- Arugula
- Carrots
- Radishes
- Swiss Chard
- Cauliflower
- Broccoli
- Tomato
- Green Beans
- Watercress
- Brussel Sprouts
I am so excited that there is quite a lot of variety of edibles that grow in our SF coastal climate. Basically anything that's usually a "cold weather or winter crop" can be grown here all year round - woot woot!
