It is the first time we are planting and sowing in this garden, and although we put down a layer of manure, opened up the soil and covered everything with straw, the clay is so hard in some areas, it is not easy to plant the little seedlings.
This is the list of plants we have been planting and sowing, and we will add more the upcoming weeks.
⁃ Veggies: pumpkins, corn and beans (three sisters planted together), tomatoes, melons, artichokes, grapes, berries, chard, lettuce, eggplants, peppers, zucchini, lentils, cales, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, chickpeas, potatoes, peanuts, spinach, radishes, beets, rucola, mustard & onions.
⁃ Herbs: basil, savory, perennial fennel, dill, parsley, yarrow, mint, sage, thyme, rosemary, hyssop, coriander, sint John’s worth & foxglove.
⁃ Flowers: echinacea, chamomile, marigolds, sunflowers, dragon’s head, summer aster, columbine, cosmos, atlas flower, everlasting flower, red linseed & lemon bee balm
⁃ Grains: oat
All of them we grew ourselves out of organic, real seeds. We have no idea which ones will do good in this climate, so we just decided to sow as much biodiversity as possible.
Now it’s up to nature!
