We finally did it! After years of talking about it, we finally started a garden. It wasn't because we just never started...living in an apartment, well, it kind of makes it difficult to grow things. But now at my parents house, we have a huge yard that we can use for growing our own veggies and fruits.
We looked for a while and finally found some great non-GMO seeds to use and plant. We decided to buy a big variety of every seed we could find that we would enjoy.
We planted them in the greenhouse with one of my brother's crops and let the waiting period begin!
We only planted what would fit in the greenhouse. Some crops needed over a few feet of space and so we are saving those for when we redo my dad's garden. We plan on having a pretty big chunk of the yard for our crops and so I'm really excited to see if these are going to grow right.

So we are really excited and can't wait to see these start to grow into real food. We bought about 20 different seeds. It is a great feeling to be able to grow your own food and keep away from the GMO crops. I'm sure I will be updating when they start looking like real food. Fingers crossed they start growing! My mom and brother have a head start on us!!!

Very fancy garden you've got started! Nice work!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's not really much yet but we are trying. We've never done this before so I'm hoping it works
DeleteVery nice! I can't wait to start a garden, it will have to wait until next year sadly
ReplyDeleteWe have been wanting to for so long. I am glad we finally got the chance. Even though you will have to wait, I wish you the best of luck on yours!
DeleteNice. I live in apartments, too and my next one doesn't have a patio for us. I'm going to ask them if I can grow in between buildings.
ReplyDeleteThat would be nice if they would allow you to. None of ours ever did. We were going to plant them in totes and put them on the patio but since we decided a while ago we were going to be moving, we held off on the idea.
DeleteOh yay!! You are gonna love having your very own herbs and vegetables!!

I can't wait!!!! All the fruits and veggies and none of them will be yucky. We are doing everything 100% organic and gmo free. Hopefully the bunnies keep away :)
DeleteSounds so exciting. I have the opposite issue I came from a house with a huge yard and now I live in a city apartment. I did start a garden though herbs and small veggies tomatoes and peppers. Super excited to their maturity.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! I'm excited for you. I hope they turn out super good
