Did you have a philosophy or plan in mind when your started your garden?
We started digging quite spontaneously and the garden has grown ever since. We wanted an interesting garden with many different options and variations. We wanted it to blossom from spring to autumn, and we also wanted the opportunity to cultivate vegetables and herbs. Now, we have vegetables from early summer through October, with different kinds of carrots, garlic, beets, corn, spinach, lettuce, potatoes, herbs, artichokes, asparagus, and raspberries available.
