Garden Plans > 2018: Metchosin Garden

About this Garden Plan

This is my 8th year garden in this nice rich soil. (Still learning every year). I use an automatic watering system to water and manure to fertilize. I like to have fresh vegatibles for us to eat and a lot of extras for others. It's a very large garden, but it's in my blood. This used to be my Grandfathers garden when he was alive. As you can see it is mostly vegetibles with some sunflowers that will attract the beas in the summer (and feed the birds later in the fall).
