About 4 years ago I finally came up enough in the wait list to be called for a plot in the Baltimore City Farms Program (https://bcrp.baltimorecity.gov/special-programs/farms). The wait list averages 2 years long and I put my name in for 2 gardens: Heath St and Light St. I got called for a plot for Heath St City Garden.
The plants I put in my 2016 garden. They did really well!
The first year I got the plot I was called at the beginning of June so I didn’t have much time to grow much of anything. I quickly put in a couple of tomatoes, peppers, and basil plants and called it a season. The plants did pretty well and I was happy with the location of my plot.
The 2nd year, I went all in. I decided to execute the Square Foot Gardening Method and I planned it out in the finest detail and followed all the rules. If a square called for 16 plants, I put in 16 plants! I had tomatoes, beans, peas, turnips, peppers, cantaloupe, and zucchini. I also added compost to my plot. I ordered A LOT of yards of Bulk Organic Compost from Veteran Compost because my plot needed soil badly.
Things quickly got out of hand! 😂
