My husband I are new gardeners attempting to transform the gardens of our first home. We live in a log cabin on +10 acres of woods. With the help of my husband's parents aka Garden Maven we have been able to lay out trails and choose plants. Everyone needs a little help now and then so this blog has been created as a personal reference for gardening in South West New Hampshire.

Veggies Grow!


Here is a picture of our first growth! I think these are peas. We are trying to get them to grow up the lines. I had thought that we should have used plastic garden fencing. Either one sounded goofy but the string/stakes option seemed to make the most sense.

This year we've decided to grow peas, beans, edemame, and potato in addition to the tomato, squash, and corn routine. We've also added marigolds that have decided not to show themselves yet. So, we may need to buy small plants. The tomato plants are slow coming. Next year we will likely start our plants indoors with a lamp as opposed to no lamp. It stays colder longer up here causing our growing season to be short. We need all the help we can get. At least we have the rain.
