The very first plantings of the future Overturf Micro-CSA are in the ground! This is largely a year of trial and error, with an emphasis most likely on error, both in execution and variety. By this, I mean that I went out and bought random fruits and vegetables and then planted them all in a small area in order just to get things in the ground. I have never been good at thinking things through before I press the execute button, and this garden is a living testament to that. But good things always come from a lack of planning, too.So what do we have? Here is a list of plantings I have high hopes for:
Zucchini squash
Yellow squash
8-ball Squash
Raspberries (OK, only one raspberry plant)
Strawberries
Cucumbers
Here is a list of veg I always approach with skepticism unless I'm planting them in good old Ohio:
Tomatoes
Jalapenos
Broccoli
So there you have it. Best case scenario, all plantings produce fruit and BEG to be planted again next year in 5 times the proportion! Worst case: don't think about that! Check back here for notes, photos and progress reports on my backyard garden which I hope to turn into a neighborhood micro-CSA ("community supported agriculture").
