vegetable garden structure complete
During the laborious construction of the roof structure for the vegetable garden, we realized that our plants will have a better built home than some people around here…. I guess we can’t get too guilt ridden about it, but it puts things in perspective for sure. Finally, this weekend we completed the structure and can now….PLANT PLANTS!! The rainy season is nearly upon us, so it will be a good test to see how able we are to grow things full year. My artichokes sprouted, but not much else, an asparagus did too, but one day with out multiple waterings it dried out. I was trying real hard to be recyclie and used old egg cartons for seed starters containters. They just dried up too fast, no matter if we watered them every hour…. The main staples we want to grow are just tomatoes, zucchinis, beans, lettuce, spinach and the like.
Americans have taken a heightened interest in vegetable gardening due to the recession and the price of organics. We didn’t call it whole paycheck for nothing. The cool take away, is that these veggie gardeners are hip on this idea of getting the whole country into it, and with our leadership (the Obamas) too. Similar to what Elenor Roosevelt did, starting victory garden to inspire the country. You can sign the petition to let the Obamas know you think its a cool idea here : kitchengardeners.org.
