Dave and Carol will be hosting some how- to -workshops on vegetable gardening this spring. If you are someone who desires to grow your own veggies but you'd like some information, this is for you. Dave and Carol have had many years of experience in market gardening before adding on the flower business. They will discuss 2 methods of gardening; a more traditional method using a garden plot with rows and the second method being container gardening. The latter is good for anyone who doesn't have a large growing space or doesn't want the maintenance that a bigger garden takes. I'll post more details later once we have dates set. If you are interested, please email Carol @ info@huronridge.ca
I've had a garden box for years that's approximately 4 x 16 x 3 ft. high. It's wonderful for planting early seeds, bunnies can't get to it and I don't have to bend over to weed! I arrange my plants in a careful way, similiar to companion planting (planting plants together that benefit each other) and it makes for a full garden with not alot of weeding.
About a week and a half ago, I planted some Mesclun Mix (a variety of salad greens) in this container in the greenhouse. We've been watching it and couldn't believe how fast it grew once it started poking up through the ground! Pretty soon, I'll be eating fresh greens!
