The raised beds were spaced this far apart to accommodate the garden cart which has two very wide wheels. The thought of all that pathway now is unthinkable! In this state our growing square footage for the ENTIRE garden is 640 square feet. When we go to row gardens we'll be roughly up to 1,400 square feet! AHH!!!! That's so much more growing space! This means more potatoes and finally I'll have room to grow squash and cukes! But with the decision to row garden comes an entire garden redux. Actually it will be much easier. The drip line and watering will be the same just extended to longer garden beds. The raised bed wood has plans too... it's going to become the bones for our wood shed. Because currently we have a giant pile of firewood right in the middle of the garden.
Slowly on nice days we've been dismantling the raised beds, and organizing the drip lines. With tree's to plant and espalier and a garden to reorganize it's gonna be a busy spring. I love this time of year, it's full of possibilities!
Can't wait to see how this unfolds!
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteI just found you blog, and i'm very happy, because you are living just like my dream life, the bees, the rabbits, garden, orchard, everything!! now i know i'm not crazy to want all that and that´s possible. Me and my boyfriend are planing to move to the country when we get maried.
Our plan is to do all by ourselves but i'm a little afraid i´s too much work for just two people. Do you do all the work by yourselves or do you have extra people to help?
thank you for your attention
Natalia- It's all possible and we live right in the city too! I would love to move to the country and have even more animals, plants and room to grow stuff. This small farm runs on only us two we don't find it to be too much work. I do this work full time though because we make so much of our own stuff. The farm is my job and my husband works at a "real" job to pay the bills. But about 3/4 of our food comes from this yard. The only thing we don't grow is cooking oil and grain, to grow both those things we'd need to move to the country.
DeleteWelcome to the blog!
a farm in a city would be great but i think i´ts impossible in this city where i live and we would have to move from here anyway, everything in here is too expensive, especially houses, i think a house with as much yard as yours doesnt even exist here, maybe long time ago but now there is probably a building where it used to be..
DeleteThat is an impressive space. Can't wait to see it in action and growing
