This fenced area came with our house when we moved here. I have heard that the previous owner’s wife had a garden in that area which is exactly what I want to do with it.
The only problem is I don’t know where to begin. I know at some point I have to get rid of the grass, do something with the dirt, and plant seeds. I have never had a garden before and don’t know anyone who does. I’ve been checking out books from the library and searching online to see what I need to do and when to start. I’m afraid it’s probably too late to start now since it’s starting to get cooler here.
However, I would love to be able to grow my own vegetables. So, I’m going to pretend I know what I’m doing and make a fantasy garden. In my fantasy garden I would have lettuce, broccoli, potatoes, cucumbers, and oh, I don’t know what else. What I would love to have is avocados, oranges, fuji apples, and olives. (Remember, I’m dreaming.) However, I’m pretty sure only the first set will grow in my area.
If you know what you’re doing when it comes to gardening and growing vegetables, please don’t be too hard on me. Or laugh at me too much. This will be a big feat for me since I haven’t been able to keep any plant we’ve ever owned alive. I remember one time a good friend asked why I kept a pot of dirt sitting on the table. I didn’t know what he was talking about so I went to look. Oh. That was a plant a friend gave us. Oops.
