So we've gone "green" in so many ways, solar panels, rain buckets, grey water for the plants, composting, chickens, I decided we needed to start growing vegetables in our garden. We hardly used the back yard now that we have "fake" grass in the front. So after begging my husband for weeks he built me a raised bed. We planted squash, eggplant, tomato, basil and peppers. Then we planted a tub of beans, two containers of beets, two pots of cucumbers, a green zebra tomato and some radish on the patio. We watered and fed and water and waited...
Well, there are vegetables but not many we've gotten three cucumbers, two tomatoes, and well you can see in the picture the pepper plant is teeny tiny about the height of my iphone.
Could be the weather its been cold this summer, or the compost, my husband got free compost from the city we mixed it with good stuff but..
Well I decided to rip it out and start over. Not just the gardening bed but the whole back yard. We will convert the messy yard into a growing paradise. If all goes well we'll be feeding ourselves winter greens in no time.
