Paradise Garden Project- Indoor Cultivation Part 1

HAPPY ARBOR DAY!

I started the indoor grow room about one month ago. My main objective at the moment is to keep as many plants as I can growing indoors all year round and using what we grow to plant in our garden and exchange for plants we do not have with other growers. We broke ground on the first garden plot this week. Mattes and I bought a few plants and a yard of good compost soil from The Highland Garden Center in Upland and some stuff from the Home depot. There is still much tilling and fertilization to be done and we plan on completing those tasks this week, so we have plenty of space to plant from seed and sprouts.

I am not sure exactly how many different types of vegetables, legumes, melons, squashes and everything else we have growing right now. I kind of lost track but it is somewhere around 30-40 varieties. In the last month I have had more people helping me. I have been pretty busy doing this and going to school full time so I am glad people are starting to get on board with the project, there is till much to be done.

Paradise Garden Project Weekend Update- Week 1

The weather this week was perfect to begin working on the garden. I started clearing out weeds and general clean-up on Monday.Spent about two hours a day getting things ready, trying to get a jump on this seasons planting. Wednesday I picked up about a hundred packs of seeds from the 99 cent store, around 30 different varieties of vegetables, snap-dragons and sunflowers. They have several varieties of vegetable and flower seeds. This year we're growing flowers too. I'll probably go back to the store today to pick up more seeds, they're only 9 cents a pack and they sell quick so it's good to buy up as much as possible. I don't want to limit the garden to just vegetables, we can grow everything. I'm looking forward to eventually trading some of what we grow for stuff we don't have with local gardeners and nurseries. I found out that it's more effective to cultivate seedlings before planting. What we need right now is more small pots to start seedlings in. On Friday I took some plastic soda bottles I had saved up and cut them in half and poked a few holes for drainage on the bottom  to make some seedling pots.
