Gardening time

Michael and I are so excited to star again working in a garden.

In Norwich, VT there is a Community Garden from Co-op (a supermarket). We stared to work the soil so early (mid May)We planted some tomatoes and days after we got a frozen weather and our plants ended up burnt, almost dead. Fortunately, we handled this issue very carefully, listening and reading advices from garden experts. We covered them with fabric and the tomatos were saved. This won't happened anymore in the future, for sure!


The space is 20 per 20 feet and we made a plan to plant Sun Gold tomatoes (orange little balls, very sweet), Early Girl, and Big Boy. In other section we have red and white onions, peas, green beans, hot peper, leeks, garlic, lettuce, potatoes, corn, and flowers growing by seed like baby's breath, sunflower, zinia, and some wild flowers.




This is not just for pleasure, it is because we discovered our passion for growing our own veggies. We do not have any experience on the topic, but we are trying to do the best reading gardening books, going to garden classes some of them free and paid, then we can solve problems with pest, decease and also learning tips of how to grow healthy vegetables.

I should mention that this community garden is very organized and informative we are learning how to deal with pests, knowing the kind of weeds, and there is a friendly partnership between all the gardeners.

Here are the holes to plant the yellow onions.

What a nice surprise today at the garden! A lovely friend, Karen made the day a pleasant one with her visit this morning, we haven't seen each other for a while.
