Edible Landscaping & Starting Vegetable Seeds Indoors

Spring 2009 --

I've started spring planting and seed starting. My yard still looks pretty rough, but I've been busy with digging holes and building a raised bed around my patio.

I'm hoping to make my yard edible AND attractive...eventually. Takes time, effort and $, so it will be a slow process.

Your garden looks great! I can't wait to see everything that grows :)

Thank you!  I've got a bunch of stuff growing now. I'm waiting till I get a new camera...hopefully SOON...to update. My current one is driving me crazy.

nice work... sorry to ask a hard question, but your soil isn't touching the stuff around your house is it? I recently discovered that my soil adjacent to the house has quite a lot of pesticide in it. Not necessarily true for your's...

[greentxmama]

Good question...Our house is about 8 months old, and we only had it sprayed once right after moving in. After amending the soil, and since 8 months have passed...I feel okay about it. In the future if/when we have to spray, I'll make sure they don't spray in those areas or use organic pesticide. VERY good question...Truthfully, didn't think about that till you mentioned it. Thanks!

I love this video you are so ahead of me but ill catch up with you one day I am also thinking about putting my berries on my fence

your yard is going to be beautiful cant wait to see more

[greentxmama]

Thank you!! I'm trying to put the berries as far away from the house as I can...in case they attract ants. I don't know how bad they are in TN, but here...they're EVERYWHERE! Thanks for your nice comments!

Great videos. I bought my house 2 years ago, and started digging a garden last year with just a couple indoor seedlings. I doubled the garden this year and am starting everything from seeds. Im in MN, 3 weeks left to go until I can transplant. Keep the videos coming.

Looks great! Your season is about a month ahead of us in Washington state. I look forward to seeing the progression. Great video!
