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.

Container gardening

On the front steps of our house we planted strawberries, red cabbage, kale, pansies, lettuce, basil, and the last one I can't remember (in order from left to right). The strawberries went missing but they definitely came and went. The cabbage is doing really well. The kale was eaten by worms (the ones in the garden are doing really well), the pansies are stalled. The lettuce is stalled but the basil is doing really well despite the lack of drainage in the pot. However, the heat has certainly compensated along with an occasional dumping out the extra water. With the exception of the missing strawberries and worms these plants have done pretty good.

Beautiful and yummy kale and beets... potato plants gone wild!
