We have a big garden every year,have too with 4 kids yet at home,we plant potatoes,carrots,brussel sprouts,cantaluope.watermelon,green beans,cabbage,tomatoes,pumpkins,zuccinni,and sweet potatoes, cucumbers ,peppers,and if there is any room left I will find something else to put in.
I can and freeze alot,we get corn from the farmers so we do not have it in the garden,and we make ALOT of pickles.
Ours is 45 by 75 feet.We hardly have any weeds.That was from tilling and round up years ago and now not much weeds or grass come up at all.I do miracle grow once a month also,use the feeder that you can attach to your hose.
I also try to put marigolds around the border of the garden.
I have alot of flower beds also cant get enough of them.I use a small spray bottle of round up for the weeds in my flowers.I also miracle grow the flower beds every 2 weeks.We are just now planting our garden hope it does well this year.Good luck with yours. |
