What are you growing in your garden this year ?

2017 Garden Plot and Flower Planting 


Its been so warm in StLouis the past few weeks I went ahead and started some garden work.  3 kinds of lettuce were started as well as a few sweet carrots.

I don’t trust Big Business and the poison they peddle in the grocery store. Today I started some cool weather plants and sowed 3 types of Lettuce and Sweet Carrots.
I couldn’t wait any longer to get the garden started. Its too early to be truthful. I’m sure I’ll have to protect the future plants from frosts that I know are the norm in the Midwest this time of year.
I felt it mandatory to start protecting numero'uno and make sure at least my diet is clean as can be.

Big Business is poisoning the food, poisoning the water, poisoning the air....
You’ve been warned protect yourself. 

Garden seeds are cheap and working with dirt for some reason will make a body feel good!

The following flower planting Facebook Photo was done in the strip next to the fence.
 


I've also planted flowers, trees, and grass in a few more spots around the yard.  I will be posting progress photos and additional pictures of the 2017 Gardens and Flowers in the near future.

Growing your own food is the greatest thing you can do to ensure the good health of you and your family.  It will also save you $$$.

Little Green Thumbs at it again


Vegie Tepee with climbing plants
Vegie Tepee Growing Great








A vegetable teepee a perfect solution.  The kids wanted a play house.  I wanted a garden spot in our small urban yard.  Going vertical with the vegetable teepee was the perfect solution to the confined space of an urban backyard- that met both of our wants!

Everything used to construct the vegetable teepee was a leftover and scrap of lumber from the garage.  This project I'm happy to say cost Zero $0.00 to build!  (My gf spent enough $ on flowers this year so I decided my Garden expenses this year would be minimal in costs and easy on the budget.) 

Materials
+ Teepee frame Brazilian Hardwood $0.00
+ vegetable runners scrap/feral trees cut from the alley $0.00
+ Baling wire and ZipTies job site leftover $0.00
+vegetable seeds: cucumber, pole beans, peas garden leftover $0.00
+ mulch recycled from another area in the yard $0.00

Tools:
+ Tree Pruner - loppers
+  Wire Pliers
+ Garden Tools for mulch and planting

My goal for the project (besides growing food) is to continue the girls gardening education.  As the veggies are growing this year I plan to use this to continue the life lesson about what's in our food and how organic food is grown.

Stay tuned for pictures of the vegetable growth and highlights from the kids experience.

The oldest girl mentioned she is ready eat!
