I got the Groupon for a 4X4 raised planter box from Resolution Gardens. I've always wanted to start a garden and lately Abby has been asking me to grow stuff too. With everything else I have going on, there's little chance of us putting together anything on our own so this was probably the only way it would ever happen.
So look forward to lots of questions starting with - what to plant? Here is their list of suggestions and offers with the deal. I'm guessing they won't be able to get out in the next week so we're probably looking at late Feb or early March.
Re: Alright you gardening peeps
I'd aim for March. I highlighted what we did last year (March 15th) and they all worked out well.
LATE MARCH: Cantaloupe, corn, cucumber, eggplant, black-eyed peas, pumpkin, New Zealand
spinach, summer squash, watermelon
Plant vegetable plants- Broccoli, chard, collards, endive, leaf lettuce, mustard
LATE MARCH: Pepper, tomato
Plant herbs. Seeds: All hot-weather herbs, such as basil, chives, epasote, milk thistle Plants:
All hot-weather herbs and perennial herbs, such as artemesias, basil, bergamot, catmint or catnip,
chives, comfrey, scented geranium, lemon grass, mints, oregano, pennyroyal, rosemary, santolina,
thyme (Plant all of these the second half of the month. Avoid cool-season herbs such as
cilantro/coriander, dill, etc.)
