So I got to check out my new plot today. It's about 20 x 22 and full of
weeds...and a few strawberry plants. It was abandoned last fall by the previous plot owners.
My 3 year old is excited to start weeding and planting. She is requesting broccoli and sweet
potatoes. I think we will also try carrots, tomatoes, zucchini,onions, garlic, beans,
potatoes, a few herbs, blueberries and watermelon. I think we'll keep the strawberries, too.
I'm still not exactly sure where to start once we get the
weeds out. Anyone familiar with hot, sunny California? It seems I may need to sprout some of the
seeds at home and plant the
seedlings, but I'm not sure. Will I be able to plant all of these things? Seems like I will need to stagger them so that they won't all be ready at the same time.
We can't use pesticide or herbicides. Fine with me but how do I keep out the bad stuff -
weeds, bugs, & such and keep everything healthy?
