Garden is ready for planting after compost being worked in and a basic grid laid down! I sectioned it into four squares roughly four feet on each side and used string to mark the grid. I tilled in some manure and after wetting it, let it break down for a few days.
Decided to rent a garden plot from Provo city for the year and try my luck growing vegetables (mainly tomatoes for salsa). It only cost $20 for the season which began in May and ends in Oct. After removing the leaning structure someone left behind and hacking the ground to pieces with a hoe, it looks like something resembling a garden.
There are a few onions left behind that I haven’t decided what to do with yet. I was going to plant some anyway but these were left over from last season and another gardener told me I was better off planting my own? Something about them having already gone to seed? We’ll see if I decide to keep them or pull them out and replant something in their place.
