Spring has Sprung!
Mar. 24th, 2008 10:32 amMy attempt at a veggie garden on my deck was an utter failure last year , yielding only a handful of carrots, three small broccoli flowers and a few bunches of too small kale.
Being the never admit defeat sort of person that I am, I spent much of the weekend planting a much expanded version. If this attempt doesn't do a lot better I'll switch to flowers I suppose.
I am using better soil this year, mixed generously with compost, and allowing a lot more space per plant (I was way to optimistic last year and overcrowded everything.) Thanks to a friend who gave me some of her leftover large containers, and to buying a few more, I hope I have given the plants enough room to develop this time.
The whole is a bit of a motley collection of plastic and clay containers, but once the growth really begins I hope it will look ok. It's not really an ornamental garden after all.
