HOME GARDEN: day 1 - 8




I'm a bit late to post, but here is the start of my garden. With the help of my boyfriend (who's dad generously built the raised bed for me), we pulled out the weeds that resided in the area that I had chosen to place my garden. After that, we called it a day and went to reward ourselves with some lunch.

The bed sat there, sad and empty, for two days, until I finally went to Home Depot on Monday to buy some soil. It wasn't until I got home and filled in the box that I realized I should have bought more bags of dirt. The box is 4x4 feet, so it took about 12 square feet worth of soil to comfortably fill in the bed. 

Right now, I have some onions, garlic, carrots, and celery that I all started from food scraps sitting in there. In one of the corners is what I think is a pepper plant; I just saw it randomly growing out in the front yard, and stuck it back here. 

I'm very eager for the sprouts to start showing. Let's see how this little experiment of mine goes.
