Default Re: My new garden project...

That would be awesome.

Kinda sucks where I am as I know no one that does gardening in my area so its just me and my 19 year old and the little ones when they feel like it getting the work done... But I am thankful that my oldest son has taken such as interest in it!!!

That piece of property that we are doing the garden is actually my neighbors property he is a Doctor and has a huge estate right across the street from me. He said we can do whatever we want there as long as they get do enjoy some of the fresh produce. My 14 year old daughter is best friends with his 2 twin daughters. They used to own horses many years ago and that soil has had years of horse manure decomposing in it so I am sure it will be great to grow in. Even though we are building all raised beds filled with Mushroom compost 12 inches above their dirt.... doing 6 12ft x 4ft beds. then 4 8ft x4ft beds. Banana plants all long that back brickwall.... I also have 7 tomato towers built out of Cattle panels that are 7ft tall and a 20ft long trellis.

The space we are using runs 75ft north to south and 60ft east to west.

There is more space to either side that my 19 year old is going to put small planter boxes in various locations and fill them with flowers he wants to grow.
