Garden 2005

2002: Our First Year!
2003: Bigger and Better!
2004: Best Yet!
2005: Getting Serious!
March 26th: Spring seems a bit late this year.
Finally the snow is gone, but it's still cold!
Again Mom and I planted seeds, but this year, we staggered the plantings so the different plants germinate at about the same time.
New for this year is the home brew "Propagation Station".

We copied a $500 store bought rig, for less that $100. Home Depot had closeout light fixtures for $5, the rack was on sale too!

These are the store bought planters. They use a water tray below, and a layer of fabric to wick the water to the upper area.
Our budget version uses a foil pan below, and some felt to wick the water up to the peat pots. It works!
June 28th: We missed out on the tilling and planting pictures, but our garden has gotten off to a great start this year.
By mid July, they the tomatoes are getting really tall!
Look at our pumpkins grow too!
Even mom's garden path is growing great!
