Mrs. Brown Thumb Grows a Garden, Part 2

If you're a long-time reader of this blog, you might remember that I tried to grow a garden a few years ago.

Well, it was a big fat disaster. My plants barely sprouted and I was never even able to transfer them.

To be honest, I stink at gardening for some reason. I have never been able to keep plants alive…even flowers that Noah gives me usually die after a day or two. It's sad, really.

 
But, this year I'm committed to learning how to do it!
 
Last year, Noah got this great idea to buy railroad ties to make a raised garden in our backyard. However, I happened to be 8 months pregnant when he did it…so life kind of got in the way. As you can probably guess, the whole “having and taking care of a newborn” thing happened, and we never got around to setting it up. But, when we've had a spare day here and there, we've been working on setting it up finally.

The soil is currently covered in hay because it isn't the best quality…we have a good bit of clay. But, it looks like we can still grow in it! We've just got to treat it this weekend with a little bit of compost and peat moss.
 

 
 
We took a little trip to Tractor Supply yesterday to get our veggie sprouting kits. Emma Ramey's favorite part is checking on the chickies when she goes.
 

 
Such a ham!
 
 

We picked up tomato and pepper sprouting kits (new version available here)…I don't want to start too much right now, since I stink at gardening I'm new to this. These should be ready to transfer in a few weeks!
 
We're also starting a compost pile. From everything I read about gardening, it is the way to go for fertilizing your garden…plus it's basically free! I ordered this compost bin today that should be in later this week.
I'd like to do herbs and maybe zucchini/squash this year too, if this goes ok. We'll see. Fingers crossed that this is our year for gardening!
