Gardeners unite!!!



                                                                         Gardeners unite!!!

I love to garden!!  I used to garden when I was younger & I just loved it!  Now that I’m older, I still love to garden.  I’m married now with one boy.  So the time I’m able to spend in the garden is limited.

I’m not really a girl that likes flowers, so I grow a vegetable garden.  I suppose the best thing I like to eat out of my garden is peppers.  They can be green, red, black, yellow or orange.  Just as long as there not hot.  I don’t like hot peppers at all!

I’ve had problems with my garden though.  Stuff just doesn’t want to grow for me.  I just don’t understand it.  I’ve tried horse manure, chicken manure & even goat manure.  Nothing seems to help my garden grow.

Well this past year I discovered  a different way to feed my garden.  It called hugelkultur, this is  where you put rotting wood down & then you place your top soil on the wood.   So I dug up all my dirt this last year & put rotting wood under my soil.  Man that was a lot of work.   I’m hoping that this make my garden the best it has ever been over the next couple of years. 

I mean I love to garden but when you work & work & don’t really get anything for it.  I tell you what it makes you not want to garden anymore.  

My son & husband don’t like to eat the vegetables.  So if I can’t at least get a good garden out of my work for me to eat, I’m about ready to give it up all together.

Of course this last year I did get lots of different colored peppers out of my garden.  So that at least made me happy.  I also got some zucchini from the garden.   I suppose about the only other thing I got was brown beans.



So if you’re having problems with your garden maybe you should try huglkultur.  It might be the answer you’ve been looking for.  I know I had never heard of it before.Leave a comment telling me what’s your favorite thing to eat out the garden.
