Week 2 - Ordering seeds

Time in: 8:00pm
Time out: 10:30pm

Tasks:

1) Looked through seed catalog and ordered 3 varieties of tomatoes (from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds)


2) Discussed and calculated expenses and made a list on what we need

  • 1 Seedling container
  • 1 bag of seed starter mix
  • 1 water timer
  • Drip irrigation supplies for an 8x8 ft space
  • Potting soil for 5 gal. containers

3) Discussed other possible vegetables to plant

  • Eggplant
  • Cucumber
  • Squash
  • Basil

We decided to focus mainly on tomatoes in the garden. We want also to plant tomatillos and cherry tomatoes. The only drawback we ran into is the space we have to plant. We wish to utilize the square-gardening technique. Through this, we will be able to fit approximately 16-20 tomato plants in an 8x8 square foot area. The other veggies will be planted in 5 gallon containers, lining the outside of the area.
