Photography tron's Vegetable Garden

[tronN00dles]

Hey folks,

So after growing cannabis for a few years, I decided to try my hand in vegetable gardening. Earlier this spring, I built three raised beds in my backyard. I figured I'd make a thread to which I can post some pics and have a general discussion on growing vegetables.

For lumber, I used:

• 5/4" x 6" untreated red cedar, which I stained with raw linseed oil
• 4" x 4" untreated red cedar, also stained with raw linseed oil
• 2" x "2 spikes

I built three beds. Dimensions and vegetables grown in each are as follows:

1. Bed closest to fence - "climber bed" - (2ft x 8 ft x 18" tall)

• Green beans (on a teepee structure)
• Cucumbers (on a teepee structure)
• Sugar snap peas (on a trellis)
• Parsnips
• Companion flowers: Alyssum

2. Middle Bed - Salads - (4ft x 8ft x 18" tall)

• Lettuces (romaine, buttercrunch, ruby red)
• Scallions
• Radishes
• Arugula
• Spinach
• Basil
• More parsnips
• Companion flowers: Marigolds, Nasturtiums, Calendulas

3. Outer Bed - Root Veg - (4ft x 8ft x 18" tall)

• Beets
• Carrots
• Leeks
• Peppers (red hots, peri-peri's, jalapeños)
• Companion flowers: Nasturtiums

I also have a potted plant area next to the salad bed featuring:

• Broccoli
• Zucchini
• Acorn Squash

Everything except for the carrots, beets, parsnips and radishes were started indoors in plug trays under grow lights.

Pictures to follow...

Thanks,

Nice project! Our broccoli is nowhere near close yet. Is the carrot orange inside? All the dark colored carrots we've grown are actually orange carrots with a dark exterior that washes off

And yeah it seems to be only the peel. The inside was very much orange lol.
