Spring 2009 Vegetable Garden

This is our second year to use our Vegetable Garden. I have expanded it some this your and made two smaller place to plant asparagus and strawberry( listed as a separate garden). The garden this year measures 20×25ft. . I did plant a cover crop this winter and tilled it in, in December. I have also added Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss (18 cu. ft.) and Manure (480 lbs.) I hope that will help my potatoes this year. Last year they did not get very big and not many made. I also framed the vegetable garden with pressure treated wood so it will look a little nicer in the yard and will be much easier to weeded around.

Here is what I will be planting this year : Spring 2009

  • Lettuce (9 varieties)
  • Onions
  • Broccoli
  • Potatoes
  • Bell Peppers (5 different kinds)
  • Jalapenos
  • Eggplant
  • Tomatoes (of course) (16+ different kinds)
  • Watermelon
  • Yellow Squash (3 varieties)
  • Spinach
  • Sugar Snap Peas
  • Cucumbers
  • Pumpkin (4 varieties)

Let me know what you think of my Vegetable Garden!
