I live in northeast Arkansas in USDA zone 7. I've been gardening for about 12 years now. I just started the raised bed concept. I enjoy watching things grow. I think this blog will be a good record keeping tool. I also enjoy reading and seeing how other people create their gardens.

2011 Garden

This is a picture of the garden as of today.  Last weekend I added a seventh bed (5ft x 20ft) on the south side.  I plan on planting some sweet corn in this bed in a few weeks.  I also planted some carrots, lettuce, and green onions in two of the beds this past weekend.  Onions have started to emerge through the ground, but the carrots and lettuce show no signs of sprouting or emergence.  I sprayed round-up in the new bed....I was going to give it 7-10 days before I started to put some soil in it.  I have a pile of compost/manure in the southwest corner in the yard as you can see in the photo.  This is what I'll be putting in the bed.  I also got a hold of some chicken manure this winter...I'm going to try and put some across all the beds before planting.
