Our garden beds are made up of stacked rocks, all of which came from our yard. I think rocks are our best crop! They seem to keep growing no matter how many you dig out of the ground. That being said, they make great raised beds, which are necessary for such rocky soil. We've cleared a bit more space this year and expanded our growing area. We are hoping to be able to grow a larger variety of vegetables.
Currently we have garlic, cauliflower, sugar snap peas, carrots, strawberries and spinach planted.
Our garlic chives, mint, and sage come back every year as well as our figs and raspberries. It's nice to have some reliable plants that don't need coddled.
I'm excited for this year's growing season.
I love your raised beds! You are very fortunate to be able to harvest such nice rocks from your property! I'm excited for you about your vegetable harvests as well! Have a nice weekend! Blessings from Bama!
ReplyDeleteThanks Felicia! I hope all our efforts pay off. It's a lot of work, but better than sitting on our bums doing non-productive activities, I suppose. :)
DeleteLove all those rocks! What beautiful raised beds!! I can't wait to see more from the growing season!! Happy gardening! Nicole xo
ReplyDeleteYour little beans would probably love to play in all these dirt beds!
DeleteI would love to have rocks bordering my garden. Perfect .. your vege plot looks great.
ReplyDeleteThanks, let's hope the plants enjoy them as well.
DeleteWhat a great "crop" of rocks...I would kill for anything but caliche! I envy you girls that live where you can grow such great things.
ReplyDeleteI love the rocky garden beds, such a great idea. I'm a lover of gardening, newly so. It is exciting when you plant things in and see them grow. I have two vege beds my newest one I spent time putting in compost and sheep manure. It has made a huge difference. The veg that I planted is twice the size of the plants that I put in at the same time in the older garden that doesn't have the compost and manure in it. Happy gardening xo
