Last year's garden

A summary of our garden last year

Raised Beds
We built five 4x8 raised garden beds, which have been the foundation of the garden. They're the perfect size for our needs, and gave us 160 square feet of growing space!

Soil
The soil that we chose was of high quality, and included a 4-way mix & compost from St. Leon's Garden. We also used a lot of soil that was from our old resin beds from Costco.

Irrigation
We ordered a Raised bed kit from Irrigation Direct Canada and it came with everything we needed to rig up the beds we built. Because of how lazy we are, this was an absolute must, as it made it very easy to manage the watering of our plants without having to wake up at 5am every morning.

Trellis
We built a trellis over the Tomatoes bed so we could vertically grow the tomatoes, cucumbers, beans and peas. We used tomato clips to attach the vines to the string that hung down from the top of the trellis.
This worked out great for tomatoes, beans (beans twist themselves around a string after a bit of coaxing), and peas, but the cucumbers didn't seem to like growing straight up.

Plants 🍅🫛🥬🥕

We were successful in growing a variety of crops.

Visitors 🦋🍄

We are lucky to have gotten visitors last year! Unfortuanately, the butterfly's wing is damaged, and wouldn't be travelling south last year.

Overall, last year's garden, was set up for success, We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent in the garden.
We're thankful to have a garden, and couldn't imagine a life without one!

I am so excited the start of this year's gardening season!
