What Is Your Dream Garden March Madnes

March madness is here and it also refers to planning the perfect dream garden. There's questions about where to put the plants.Will they get enough shade ? Enough sun? Will they produce a lot / that's the questions and uncertainties facing home chefs wanting a proper kitchen garden.

Alliums are on my to plant list. I love them,from onions or garlic to scallions. they elevate everything from,salads to sauces to marinades. It would be wonderful to walk outside and grab some for that night's dinner. Luckily I have a kind of hydroponic scallion garden (read scallion stalks in a glass half filled with water). I can cut the tips and use them for my Fire Horse Noodle recipe. Fresh scallions will definitely elevate the dish and infuse it with more flavor. The problem  is the onions, The plants need to be transplanted in early Spring or fall.They do require constant moisture meaning they need to be soaked daily along with a high nitrogen fertilizer, They also require a lot of space between three to six inches apart. Do I have enough room for them? Can I only plant one or two onions? They also have to be completely weed free. Will I have enough to time to constantly maintain an onion patch? These are questions that any home gardeners has to ask.

Wanting a garden ,I now realize is different than planning garden. I have to really scan my back yard and see what areas have constant sun and constant shade.There are also areas where there are equal amounts of both. There's also soil testing for the right pH, If your soil has a high pH then think about planting asparagus , beets,broccoli and cabbage. Other veggies include cauliflower, kale and spinach, all perfect veggies for a nutritious and tasty diet.Root crops are best for a low pH garden, Think potatoes, radishes and sweet potatoes. Radishes are great for young gardeners.They produce a crop relatively fast and they 're easy to take care of. Then there's the problem of those little visitors. Veggies will attract all sorts of wildlife.  Deers will be drawn to yards sprouting lettuce ,corn broccoli and kale. To be honest the best bet is to let them be. Feed them extra lettuce that you can buy cheaply from your local grocery.This should keep them well fed and satisfied. Raccoons eat everything from tomatoes on the vine to potatoes. Keep them at a distance and try to have sturdy fences build around the patches.

Planning a garden can be crazy. Yet with careful plotting you can have a successful garden with thriving plants. It'd just  a matter of know what to plant and where.
