I saw this spot for gardens other than marijuana and, thought I would share my work outdoors.

The first pic is the ground I began with, second is how I shaped the garden, third is after planting and lastly is an update from yesterday.

I have three type of lettuce, carrots, snow peas, peaches & cream corn and White pumpkins for Halloween.

That's cool, I love Halloween !
These pumpkins are pure white and have a thin skin.
You do not need to cut out holes, just slice and peal away sections of the skin. When you put the candle inside, the whole pumpkin glows like a ghost and the sketch shows up real nice.

shading technique for pumpkins

LOL actually that is the main reason I started this veg garden.
I live in a super-conservative small town of 3000.

i had a few carrots that looked like that this year, it was where i was too lazy to thin them out, and it still tasted just as good.

Hi Jay, yes this is the first time I ever grew carrots.
I most likely crowded them too much. I'm just glad something actually grew, forget they don't look like the ones in the grocery store ;>}

imo it doesnt matter what they look like, how many non perfect carrots did not make it to the store compared to how many that did. the funky carrots taste just as good.

Hey Owl nice looking plot

What are the plants that you've sown along the border all around the plot?

Hello, those are Clover. I planted them to help control erosion and attract bees to the garden so I would get good pollination rates. I'll just turn them under and they will supplement the soil as compost.

The garden is now dead, everything has been picked.
My pumpkins didn't turn out so good, most are still green.
