Howdy friend! Just happen to stumble
into my garden? Make yourself at home, have a look around.
You'll see that it isn't a
conventional garden. There are no fancy beds, trellises, or cold frames. It's the
humble garden of a humble gardener. A recurring theme in the garden is
reduce-reuse-repurpose-recycle.
Every summer those kiddy swimming
pools are on clearance. Last summer's pool is this year's raised bed garden.
Viola! A discarded plant pot is a container garden waiting to happen.
Fallen sticks and branches suit a climbing plant just fine, as do corn
stalks.
Although, the garden was
intentionally planted and is nurtured with love, I say that I am an accidental
gardener. The truth is that Nature does all the work! I mostly sit around
a gawk.
I started my garden with organic,
garden soil and planted in it organic seeds. I have amended the soil as needed only with non-animal fertilizers, minerals, and supplements: kelp,
mushroom compost, molasses, lime, gypsum, and backyard compost. As for
watering, Nature's tears of joy -- rain from sky or rain barrel, suffice.
Come again soon, and see what accidents happened since you last visited.
