So, using that as a frame of reference here is what we have planted in the garden.
A1, A2, and A3-1x tomato plant (1x=1 per square)
A4-2x cucumber plant
B1 and C1-1x strawberry plant
B2 and B3-1x bell pepper plant
B4-1x jalapeno plant
C2-1x zucchini plant
C3-1x squash plant
C4-4 oregano seeds
D1- 4 cilantro seeds
D2- 4 basil seeds
D3-
D4-4x bush beans
In true "Bridget" fashion, I've decided that one 4x4 plot just isn't enough. I want to dedicate half of a plot to strawberries. I'd also like to grow some salad veggies--lettuce, carrots, radish. I'd also like to add a red bell pepper plant since they are one of my favorite veggies! So, I've decided to do the digging this week and Steve has agreed to build another box for me. I hope to have that one in the ground by next weekend.
And, I've decided to start a worm composting bin. Kaeli is absolutely fascinated by earthworms and has been asking for a "worm farm" for at least a year now. I'm embarrassed to say that before now I had no idea how we would go about keeping worms as a pet. Once I began reading about gardening more, I realized keeping worms as a pet is the PERFECT way to get rid of organic kitchen scraps and maintain a continuous supply of rich dirt for the garden. The liquid that drains through is also considered really great fertilizer. So, Kaeli is thrilled to know that we will finally be getting a worm farm. It's even better that the kids will get first-hand experience seeing how worms help the soil. I'm in the "research" phase right now, but I'm hoping to start our new project within the next couple of weeks.
Oh, and yes---I'm still working through learning how to fully utilize the Photoshop Elements software. It's slow going since I'm torn between wanting to learn all about gardening/worms and digital scrapbooking. But, I'll get there.....eventually.
