After reading the square foot gardener, I measured 2 inch markers on a 2 foot long strip and used it to measure off the plantings at Nottoway. I planted a strip measuring 1 foot by 2 feet with onions I bought at Merrifield and then measured off a one foot by one foot area and planted radishes in 2 inches squares and then finished off my work by puttting in shallots---all the ones I bought at Merrifield. I marked each of the plantings with wooden stakes with the plant name and date planted.
Have to take some pictures to liven up the blog.
Nottoway Park, Vienna, Va has community gardens adjacent to Hunter House.I enjoy walking through the gardens and several years ago, I put my name on the waitlist for a plot (#99th on the list). This summer I received/was assigned plot #24. Since I am new to gardening I decided to start a blog to record my experiences. NOTTOWAY PARK is located at 9537 Courthouse Road. One can play tennis, basketball, volleyball, garden, picnic, use the fitness trail, or enjoy the quiet wooded nature paths.
