My First Garden Ever

Sounds fantastic isn't?... well, sound much better than the results I really got, but although is bad at least it has a positive outcome... Want to know what it is?. The harvest was bigger than the almost non-existent from last year, so something had to be done right  ah!. I believe it's the fertilizer because last year I didn't really pay attention to all that mumbo jumbo; now even before sowing, an adequate amount of bone-meal went directly into the soil... What is it?.. Phosphorus!. Still not the way or amount you should expect for a harvest like this, but given the circumstances that bone-meal is a slow release fertilizer and the fact that it is the first time the soil had been fed up with adequate ratios of macro nutrients, made me think the soil is slowly integrating those nutrients, the fact is the harvest amount compared to last year. So more fertilizer will keep feeding the soil. I will try anot...

Not so productive but a heirloom after all. There are many varieties you can grow and people have opinions to each one of them, at least a personal opinion and everyone have a different opinion, that's why flavors are made for every type of people, hurray for "the people choice", democracy at its purest!. But for me this kind of bean is not a "to die for favorite", yes it is a green bean you will not find it in any supermarket and it's flavor is very smooth and creamy, but as I said only half a pound, yes! half a pound for half of one square ft garden. Right now I have another variety growing up(a hybrid)and I hope to get more pounds next time, if not green beans will be out of the question next year. The kind of vegetables suited for the square ft garden are more of the leaf side... Lettuce, spinach, swiss chard, mesclun, beets, carrots, radishes, although I didn't succeeded with the last 3.... More practice I know, well to be my first year something ...
