I went to my first workshop at the OC Great Park Farm & Food Lab located on the old El Toro Marine Base. It was a wonderful and very informative workshop about Spring planting. I learned some very valuable tips like how to support your melons as they climb a trellis...
...pantyhose of course!!!! (see the small watermelon nestled in the polka dot stocking?) Such a great idea. Now I know that I can plant some melons in the garden and not have to worry about them growing out and spreading...I can train them to grow up a trellis :) I also like that small box in the picture that the master gardener built...I might want to use that design for my raised beds, just on a bigger scale. Here is an example of a raised bed that uses the square foot planting method:
This way of planting keeps things very neat and organized and i really like that idea. I might keep that in mind when we build the beds. One thing I would really like to try to grow is artichokes and they had some beauties there...
YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
