Garden Boxes
We made some adorable little 1′ x 1′ garden boxes today. I will post pictures soon. Here is a log of what we planted.
Box 1 – Sweet Basil (Days to Germination 14 – 18, expect to see sprouts between Apr 5 – 9)
Box 2 – Flat leaf Italian Parsley (Days to Germination 20 – 25, expect to see sprouts between Apr 11 – 16)
Box 3 – Mammoth Long Island Dill (Days to Germination 10 – 15, expect to see sprouts between Apr 1 – 6)
Box 4 – Crackerjack Marigolds (Days to Germination 5 – 7, expect to see sprouts between Mar 27 – 29)
- Purple Coneflowers (Days to Germination 15 – 20, expect to see sprouts between Apr 6 – 11)
Now, the flowers in Box 4 will grow very large and will need to be transplanted after they start to get a little larger, but the little box is a good place to start. The boxes are nice because they are mobile. So, we can move them around as needed for light/shade as the seasons progress.
I will be uploading pics of the garden to http://erinsphotoblog.shutterfly.com if you want to check it out.
Update: Here is a picture of one of our garden boxes:
