I'm going to grow with 10 after seeing your garden because you are way ahead of me.

I had the realization that I am becoming a hippie (who likes to look pretty) too :) I am a nutrition major and recently had all of my thoughts realized while watching Food, Inc. I had been thinking a lot about raw food and grass fed meat before this film, but now my husband is on board too. So i feel somewhat akin to you :) It is so exciting to see that you are a christian too! Anyway, I will have to pick up that book and plan out our garden #2.

A book I really enjoy is "Easy Garden Projects to Make, Build, and Grow" by Barbara Pleasant and the editors of Yankee Magazine. I'm planning on blogging about it soon. :) Also, I picked up some great charts at a master gardener's stand at our farmer's market that show specifically what to plant/transplant for our region, week by week. I'll look for links and include those on the blog post, too. :)Katie Riddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03842697893979039395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387877928907784339.post-44831232031115303972010-02-27T12:58:32.398-08:002010-02-27T12:58:32.398-08:00Hi.

I am about to start my second garden and my first was a disaster. Moles ate just about everything (I wanted to try it without raised beds--mistake!). I really want this garden to work out, but the problem is I know very little. What resources would you recommend to learn what to grow and when to plant, what to fertilize with, and how to mulch? Thank you so much! By the way, I live in zone 9 too.charityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05491181621218351325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387877928907784339.post-290700295709800662009-09-25T22:52:29.283-07:002009-09-25T22:52:29.283-07:00Looking real good, Katie.

I'm growing 4 or 5 kinds of lettuce, spinach, sugar snap peas, broccoli, radishes, and carrots.I found some "certified organic compost" at Lassen Landscape Materials. I've been making my own, but the buying it sure is easy. The worms have really moved in after mixing in shredded leaves from last fall.Very encouraging. I've noticed a small amount until now....Happy gardening....JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387877928907784339.post-31763872098712655062009-09-25T14:33:11.469-07:002009-09-25T14:33:11.469-07:00Super!
