Hello All. Great weekend to plan your Spring Garden
for the MLCHgarden Challenge 2009! The economy
and "going green" have inspired many of us to grow our
own this spring/summer. Here are ideas and guidelines to
get you started...
Guidelines
1. Pick out your garden spot. Make sure it's a sunny area, easy to get to and easy to water.
Can be a container, small area in yard, large field or whatever space you choose!

2. Make a list of your favorite veggies. Talk to family about what they like to eat.
3.Check out this website for a Georgia veggie planting calendar
4. Work on your soil. Check to see if your potential garden spot is fertile soil or clay. You can add organic material such as manure or peat moss. I've had great success with Miracle Gro Moisture Control Potting Mix, if you are using containers.
5. Post your progress & questions on this blog or email me mlchgarden@comcast.net
the girls on the farm.
