Planning for next year | James Gibbon's Garden


As the growing season sadly comes to a close, it brings forth the opportunity to plan for next year. This year was our first year trying to grow in our garden, and we had a very late start to the season. We never really had the opportunity to sow in the spring and grow all summer ☀️long which really impacted our production. Instead, we rushed together our garden in the limited time we had, and planted as many frost resistant plants 🌱 as possible such as Kale, Carrots🥕, Lettuce, and Radishes. Although this thrown together garden has been a lot of fun, I’m excited to see what we can do with our garden next year.

What has me excited is the size of our garden for next year. We made some massive expansions 💥 to our garden and now have a 42ft x 36ft plot of soil ready to be planted next year. Below is a picture of what I’m talking about…

This added space is going to open up a lot of possibilities for us come next spring. From cherry tomatoes🍅, to corn 🌽, we will have the capacity to supplement a large amount of our food source from the garden. This is really exciting!

One of the main things we have left to do is to plan out this space next year. If anyone has any ideas on what to plant please send me an email at montanafarmlife@gmail.com .

Furthermore, as promised, below is an update on our radishes. This picture is from Day 19.
