Welcome to Paul's backyard, where group one will host their organic garden! Jackie, Paul, Laurel, and Maggie have been hard at work planning our garden. As you can see in the pictures, there are three beds that appear to have hosted gardens before. Bed one and bed two are 7 x 3 ft. Bed three is 6 x 3 ft and bed four is 5 x 7 ft. Paul's yard is fenced in and sees varying amounts of sunlight throughout the day. The beds get as close as one foot to the wall. We plan to take advantage of this when we grow tomatoes. As the trees fill out, there will be more shade, but for now there is more than enough sunlight for the garden. Another concern we have is the soil quality. We have sent out a soil test and are awaiting the results. We plan to transplant broccoli, tomatoes, and cabbage. We will direct seed beans, radishes, okra, and sunflowers. The radishes and okra will grow in the same bed, taking advantage of the inner cropping method. We plan to plant the cabbage in the area that receives the most shade. With lots of planning, hard work, and a little luck, we're hoping that our garden will be a success!
