Garden planting adventure—phase one done!


Our new landscaping meant reworking everything, so I mapped out all the potential spots and made a plan. Yesterday, my son and I got to work.

Plot 1 (against the house): Beets and different kinds of onions. We drew lines with a stick and planted seeds along them—way more efficient than individual holes. We planted densely and will thin them out later (finally learning that’s the key to a good harvest!).

Plot 2 (back yard): Lettuce, beets, and three mounds of zucchini and cucumbers. Bush beans coming soon once I figure out the space.

First week down. Here’s hoping the thinning actually works this time!

Anyone else starting their garden this season? What are you planting?
