Yesterday I tilled up a 25'x6' wide patch of grass. I intend to surround it with cinder blocks buried halfway down and create a "raised box" garden. I will work it with the tiller every day after work with the tiller till this weekend when I set my cinder blocks in place.
I intend on growing; -Zucchini Squash- (Enterprise) I've been very successful in the past with this, I'll also probably just dig a couple holes and plant 2 or 3 plants about 3 weeks apart -Cucumbers- (Dasher 2 variety), using a 16' length of cattle fence as a trellis -Cucumbers- (Calypso variety) for pickling -Tomatoes- (Talladega's) for slicing -Tomatoes- (Golden Cherry) for salads In the holes of the cinder blocks I plan on doing -Strawberries- for the kids to eat off the vine Herbs will be -Mint- -Rosemary- -Basil- -Thyme- -Shallots- -Cilantro- -Parsley- -Marigolds- to deter insects -Nasturtium- to deter insects In the voids I will try some lettuce growing and I'm looking for tips and suggestions on that. Here's a Link to LSU's Vegetable Growing Guide http://www.lsuagcenter.com/NR/rdonly...012HIGHRES.pdf So, other than tilling it every day for a week should I do anything else to have the soil ready for when I'm ready to plant? |
