This is what our front yard now looks like. Hopefully months from now, it will be a big, beautiful vegetable garden. I'm studying and planning right now, and waiting for a large shipment of seeds to come from Burpee.
We wil be employing the BioIntensive Method of gardening which should insure that we do well and yield lots of yummy things.
So for now, this Blog will be devoted to what we're doing about this garden.

Today we went to Navlet's and bought 3 bags of sand and 3 bags of "Super" compost. Then we came back and dragged all the rest of our homemade compost up from the back, while bringing the no-longer-lawn to the back for decomposing. It was a lot like work.
To the best I can tell, we should start planting seeds next weekend and then have the yard fully rototilled right after the wedding. So the target date for plants in the ground is April 1st.

I learned a lot planting a veggie garden in front of my old condo. A border of something you do not intend to eat (preferably perennial) is a good dog/child barrier (and in my case woodchucks, too). Rose bushes are nice since they "bite" trespassers and attract beneficial insects. It also helps keep your garden soil/nutrients from running all over the sidewalk during a rain storm.
