The new year has been here for a while and I haven't done anything in the garden yet this year. I'm pretty sure that last year's container garden is completely dead.
Yesterday, I purchased the lumber I need to make two beds at 8' by 4'. I'm going to make that measurement the outside dimensions of the beds so that I can use paver stones of even dimensions of 6 or 12 inches between the beds without cutting the pavers. This is important so that my grandmother can come over and play in the garden.
I'm going to be placing the beds near the location of last year's container garden since it's the sunniest spot on my entire property. I actually used last year's containers to layout the dimensions of the garden on the ground.
Of course, I started to late in the year for cool weather crops (live and learn) but I should be able to get the summertime crops going just in time.
I haven't quite solved the night-gardening lighting issue but I'm close to a solution: I'll probably use LED floodlights and some sort of movable lighting rig.
Of course, due to my luck, it's raining rather heavily today so I don't know how much outdoor progress I'll be motivated to make, but tomorrow is supposed to be quite sunny.
