Weather

Finally for the 4th of July we dried out little in our Garden! This was so exciting for us because it meant our trench was dry and didn’t need to be bailed. This also meant we actually had to water out plants which has been a chore we have been able to skip most of the summer. Unfortunately our dry spell did not last long and the following week rained us out a few times. Being rained out was not all bad because we have a lot of preparations to make for our family camp coming up this month! While the weather was dry we took advantage of it though. With our dry weather we also had six little helpers in the garden. We weeded, tilled, and planted all of the plots that were still unplanted.

This was probably our biggest round of planting and thankfully our last. Our two largest left over plots were planted with multi-color corn and s...

My name is Charlie and I am just emerging into this world as a soon to be college graduate developing my life from the ground up. With my experiences in my back pocket I am starting an adventure in community gardening. I am currently a contractor for the summer in a church community garden (The Garden) that has a goal of getting the whole family involved from grandma and grandpa to toddlers.

My two years of experience working with Jr. High youth groups and my (soon to be) degree in Business Administration has opened the door to this new opportunity. While I'm finding my way as a young adult I hope to encourage other young adults to find what they love, and live with  a purpose by sharing my growing pains and triumphs. Additionally I want to educate readers about gardening, and how little changes can reap great reward. I will be giving simple how-to steps on how to start different kinds of gardens, and ideas on ...

Square Foot Gardening

Me and my 2015 Square Foot Garden (Photo by GG)   Square foot gardening is a relatively new method of backyard gardening. It is becoming more widely used by many gardeners because of all the benefits it has compared to victory garden style rows. These benefits include: ·         Maximizing space by planting closer together, meaning you will get a larger harvest ·         Your plant roots benefit because they are getting more oxygen because you have no need to walk in your garden which compacts your soil ·         The organization of the garden that makes it pleasing to the eye also makes it easier for crop rotation to make sure each plant gets the nutrients it needs Square foot gardens are most often in raised garden beds sectioned off by the square foot. I sectioned mine off by using string and a staple gun but you could use wooden slats or rocks to mark off your ...
