I'm doing a "Kitchen Garden" this spring's ideas about what to grow?
I live in Newfoundland and the floor of my side of the island is quite rocky. My backyard is a steep and would like to deepen the hill and make for the kitchen gardens. I'm thinking of growing potatoes, turnips (rutabagas for the continent), and rhubarb. The ideas of other good vegetables that are easy to grow in a rock garden? We have relatively short growing seasons, but My garden gets plenty of light. We live near a river and our patio is sometimes visited by squirrels, or even river rats, so we had to leave our feeder for birds. Any suggestions on how to protect our garden and compost bin (not made yet, but we plan for the start of spring) Thanks
Good. Grow some chives, are incredibly strong, little need for care (none, actually), and as the years pass can divide the groups and get chives further. They go really well with her parents. See some designs for compost bins test rats. I have not had to use one yet, but I know they are out there. Certainly you can buy already made, but are quite expensive, or perhaps buy one for use of compost from food and make a bigger wire mesh or plates that are only for cuts of shrubs and other inedible things. And keep the compost, as far as possible the house if you think the rats will be a problem. Just look up "compound to test the rat "and the use of the ideas work for you. composting also made for use indoors, using worms. Rats rarely bother vegetables in my experience. Onions And in any way? Leeks, perhaps, that are versatile, but expensive in the stores that onions are not normal. There are several types of beans, such time, many of which grow tall and what you can produce a lot in a small space. Watch beans If you like beans. The leaf and all things cool climate - lettuces, spinach. Peas like cool weather, although I seem to be more work than they are worth the bombing. Edible pod peas (sugar snap) receives about that. Some herbs are always nice, if you see anything else, and many grow well in difficult conditions. You may be able to get in where nothing else will do well. If you have a rocky hillside with plenty of sunshine, keep in mind it might be warmer than you think in the summer. You could have a micro-climate. Give them the protection choose an appropriate and quick maturing variety and might even get a short season tomatoes. Consider container growing for some things, or use a lot small terraces on the hill as "containers". Potatoes do not need much space if you can get vertical space. A potato plant, and as it grows keep hilling soil around the plant roots and grow poatotes the mother who is now underground. You can even grow in a barrel this time so that get enough light in the beginning when they are young. Investigating deep bed gardening, because it can basically be the method you must use in a hill. Borrow or steal all compostable material can build your soil.
