Early spring I had to prep up my garden bed to grow veggies this summer. I knew my raised bed was rich with nutrients as the result of trench composting. I did add an additional one bag of compost which I got from Pipkins Market here in Cincinnati. Used a garden fork to shuffle around the compost and soil and let it stay for few days before I started transplanting my veggies from indoor to garden bed. I planted Cabbage, Cauliflower, Eggplant, Broccoli, Lettuce and Brussel Sprouts to start with. Surprisingly all my Cabbage saplings survived the transplant while none of the Eggplants survived.
I got few more saplings from Pipkins and transplanted them. I see them flourish in my raised bed now!!
If you are wondering what is that PVC structure around my raised bed, that is a hoop house which I constructed to ward off Squirrels and Bunnies. Read my detailed blog on how to build a hoop house.
I had another raised bed which was in a bad shape. Having seen some success growing veggies in my first one, I was more excited to clean this second one. I have Onions, Potatoes and Fenugreek leaves growing. Also have sowed some Carrots, Pepper, Zucchini, Peas and Cilantro. I saw a bunny munching up the bitter Fenugreek leaves so had to construct another hoop house for this second raised bed too!!
