Fall Garden: Starting the Garden

Fall Season Seeds

Hope you guys have had a great week!!! The weekend is almost here and you can start your fall garden. It took me some time to put mine together. I can't wait to see the progress of both my fall garden and yours at its prime. Trust me you will feel happy with the results. And pleased that you are feeding your family organic veggies. You know where the veggies came from what was or wasn't added to it. It makes making dinner even more special. You can even taste the difference from supermarket brands.

Compost Added
Lets get started, you don't need to start with this many seeds. You can try 3 or 4 fall season crops like lettuce, radishes, and carrots. These seem to be the easiest for beginners. 

Mixing it together
  1. You want to add organic matter or compost on your garden bed especially if you have used the same space during the beginning of the season. 
  2. Once you have added it you will need to till the old with the new.
  3. Than make rows to add your seeds.
  4. Add your seeds but do not cover until all seeds have been put into a single row. This way you don't mix seeds or step them.
  5. Once all seeds have been added you can cover up the seeds gently trying not to disturb the seeds.
  6. Label your veggies so its easier to identify once its growing.
  7. And water with a mist everyday for about 2 weeks or until you see the garden sprouting.
