I’m gardening! I’m gardening! Well sort of… now I’m watering and waiting, but that’s probably 80% of what gardening is.
I’m sure I have a few gardener friends that I could have heavily relied on to help put this garden together, but I chose to circumvent the years of trial and error that plague some novices and just hire a great company to help me get started. Obviously, it’s in my hands now, but the folks at Urban Farm Colorado really gave me a huge head start and lots of advice. They came out with the materials and set up the beds with their nutrient rich soil and provided me with either starter plants or seeds. All in all, the cost was great! I actually price compared several times to see if I could do it cheaper and I couldn’t. Plus, they are available to help me if something is weird or if I have questions. Which is a great comfort since I have a nice little investment out there and have already planned on not shopping for produce this summer 😉
I decided to go with 2 4×8 beds. It wasn’t until I was planning the layout that I realized that 2 beds is going to yield A LOT of produce.
Here is what is in my garden:
- Micro Greens
- Kale
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Tomatoes
- Carrots
- Thyme
- Oregano
- Dill
- Fennel
- Parsley
- chives
- Basil
- Jalapenos
- Serrano Peppers
- Bell peppers
- Squashes
- Beets
- Plus some more things I can’t remember 😉
Here’s all the pics!
