Trying for a Fall Harvest

This year, Darren and I decided to start trying to grow our own vegetables. We have already had some success with Garden #1, and next year I will probably keep a blog about all of the gardens. For now, I want to use this blog to track the progress of Garden #2 and #3 for future reference.

Garden #2: The One We Did Right

  • July 21: Planted cauliflower, beans, peas, carrots, Burpee lettuce, and leaf lettuce.

  • July 22: Planted corn (trying an experiment) and cucumbers. Darren transplanted two of his fully grown tomato plants because they were crowding out the others. We don't expect them to make it, but I'm going to try.
