Platt Park

The Barden

Posted in

The Barden is a 200 square foot urban garden in my Platt Park backyard.  It produces primarily vegetables with a few flowers here and there.  In addition, there is a plum tree and a newly planted raspberry bush.  I also have 3 different varieties of hops growing in containers which will eventually be used in the homebrew that i make.

Sudowski containers

We just planted the salad and salsa container gardens in our wine barrel halves yesterday. Strawberries, peppers, tomatoes and marigolds went in. We're adding lettuce, cucumber, and green onions today and creating the troughs for our herb garden-cilantro, rosemary, basil, thyme, lemon balm, sage.
Our flower pots are filled and out around the house and I can't wait to prep our compost station next!
 
Pictures coming soon!

The rhythm of filling the pots/containers and getting the plants in and then of course enjoying the beautiful and yummy food results from the hard work!
