…And then, I had a growing desire to see beautiful blooming plants in my garden. I initially started with the portulaca and coleus plants.

In the beginning, I started out with container gardening for my pumpkin, onion, scallion and melons. The palms are about in their fourth year.

THE TALE OF PAKCHOI, CUCUMBERS & OKRA

In October, I began a set of new crops; the cucumbers, callaloo, pakchoi and okra. These proved quite a surprise because they threatened to overrun their containers and my sunroom in time. Ultimately, I found them a cool spot in my Jamaican Urban Organic Garden to chill and grow a their leisure.

Separating The Plants From The Lawn

Remember, I mentioned in an earlier article, that I had to remove the grass from where the plants were?

To the corner, the grass was tall and lush, with little worms roaming about; meanwhile my flowers were looking droopy and dry.

Well, today I took it a bit further, I dug a small trench and putting a border between the garden and grass. This will deter the latter from overwhelming the former.

You can do the same by #recycling any scrapes of #wood lying about your home. The digging was made easier because of yesterday’s rain. My back…is another issue 😦

Now unto my next gardening project.
