I learned a lot about companion planting, succession planting, and season extension. I had a blast learning how to get the MOST out of MY FRUGAL DIY garden last season ( here are 70 of my favorite FRUGAL Gardening Resources). Here are photos from my second year gardening: That was a full month and a half ahead of the previous year. I learned how to start my own seeds ( read my top 10 Seed Starting Hacks), asked hubby to build hoop houses and cold frames, and planted my first cold hardy vegetables out mid-April. I live in zone 4a, so a few more weeks on either side of the growing season could really change things for me. I spent a good portion of the winter studying up on intensive gardening techniques, and discovering ways to extend my short growing season when planting a large garden. I had a lot more time to prepare for my second year of gardening. Here are some photos from my first year gardening: The size of my very first vegetable garden was 1,000 sq ft. On of my requests was that hubby build me a garden ASAP so I didn’t miss the growing season.Īnd by June 1, I was planting my very first vegetable garden (I am married to a saint). We moved in at the end of May after a whirlwind 3 month building project. My husband and I built our dream home out on 13 acres in the country in the spring of 2013. This is my 3rd season gardening, and I have had a lot of success so far. Here is my advice: If you are a new gardener with the intention of building a large garden, prepare yourself to work EXTREMELY HARD if you want to be successful. I am sure that you have read the advice to plant a small garden if you are a beginner. I am so excited to share all the details of my 5,000+ Sq Ft Vegetable Garden Plan with you today!
