I used to garden quite a bit with my folks, but it's been years so I feel like I'm starting from scratch almost.<br /><br />This weather IS amazing. I spent yesterday cleaning out the garage instead of in the garden, but there will be plenty more time for gardening this week! I'm hoping to get over to Emily's later this week, too, and help the girls start a tiny garden. Thought they'd enjoy that. :)Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08559448743103933371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3413124039150647928.post-66812905827318553992011-03-21T19:44:08.674-05:002011-03-21T19:44:08.674-05:00lasagna gardening is great!
I've been working...lasagna gardening is great!<br /><br />I've been working on my garden too and it's been so amazing!

The variety I bought *claims* to be able to be planted from fall all the way *through* spring and still produce garlic, so we'll see! I figured for $3 it's worth a shot, anyway. <br /><br />Lasagna gardening is great, Jessica, if your soil is poor, stays too wet, etc., I've done lasagna gardening before in Texas with good success, so hopefully we'll see similar results here! Ideally, even a lasagna garden would be started in the fall, giving all your organic materials time to start decomposing for absolute best results, but of course, we weren't here in the fall, so we're doing the best we can in spite of that!<br /><br />We're planning on starting out small with the chickens, and I'm not sure we'll even have enough eggs for us and David's parents (we each go through almost 2 dozen a week). But we haven't actually made any firm decisions on the number of chickens will get, etc., so it could happen! :)Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08559448743103933371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3413124039150647928.post-6206698515504972011-03-20T01:18:53.705-05:002011-03-20T01:18:53.705-05:00I've never heard of lasagna gardening.

I got WAY over ambitious my first gardening year (just last year :) and packed probably a quarter acre worth of planting into 2'X5' spot. lol. yeah, it didn't do so well. Even after thinning it was still WAY to crowded. I'm hopeing for better results this year. I just put in some spring strawberries and fall/spring onions. More to come this weekend and next I hope!<br />I SO look forward to reading more about this endeavor and especially the chickens. I hope you have eggs to spare!biblechikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13870251030585003224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3413124039150647928.post-45375288657770792382011-03-19T22:26:29.681-05:002011-03-19T22:26:29.681-05:00I think you're actually supposed to plant garl...I think you're actually supposed to plant garlic in September or October. It's seems counterintuitive, but I've heard that multiple times from people who garden a lot.ladyritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09774274689831068616noreply@blogger.com
