Last year I read the articles in your Gargen Carnival. I was inspired to start my own garden. We live in an apartment, however on our patio we do have beds, but they only had mulch in them. So I filled them with some soil based on the Square Foot Gardening method. It was kind of expensive, but it was fun to grow your own things and I plan to use the garden again. I was a little too ambitious and probably set my hopes too high. But overall I did get some nice produce and I learned a lot. I grew cucumbers, two types of tomatoes, green beans, squash, lettuce, carrots, onions, cilantro, basil, peas, and lima beans. Some of the lessons I learned: 1. In Southern California you need to water a lot. 2. I tried to use Heirloom seeds and try new varieties and I found that my family prefered the more traditional variety. I think I may buy some of the organic seeds locally next year. They may have less variety, but they are the "traditional" flavor my family is used to eating. Here are some of the things I plan to try for next year: 1. Since I have a small place, pick things that would be more difficult and more expensive to buy locally. I need to realize that with this size of garden, I am going to suppliment my produce, not provide all of it. I am going to grow cucumbers, tomatoes, different types of squash, lettuce, snow peas, and maybe some melons. 2. I also plan to plant onions, cilantro, and basil again. It was so fun to be able to go pick them and put them in my recipes. 3. I love to experiment and I would love to see which plants will grow in hotter weather. We are planning to move to the Philippines as missionaries in about a year and a half. I would love to experiment with growing some of my own vegetables that would be harder to get over there.
