I just finished writing my final thoughts on today and I mentioned Phase 2. I never explained that and I certainly don't want it to sound shady. So let me explain.
Phase 2:
Phase 2 is my "Urban Gardening" experiment. I would like to make sure I know how to grow fruits and veggies. Phase 2's space is about 2 feet wide by 6 feet long and 3 feet tall. It is a third story porch that gets decent natural light. I am continuing to study and gain as much knowledge about gardening as possible. I still have many questions about the whole process. Did you know that the ground has a pH? Furthermore, did you know that pH is incredibly important for some plants? Yeah, Neither did I.
Phase 2 - Stage 1 - Research and development
To maximize my area I'll start with 2 2-foot troughs, 2 large pots, and 6 hanging coffee cans on the banister.
I decided I would start with the standard plants:
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Green beans
Strawberries
Squash
Phase 2 - Stage 2 - Germination. (Current stage)
We kicked over a 2-pack greenhouse kit for $20 at BJ's Wholesale. As of 06/08/2012 72 plants are in the process of germination. I really only expect half to survive. After germination I'll transplant them into troughs, hanging cans, and pots for the heavy plants. Its only been a day so there is no progress. After typing that I have not planned on having a higher survival rate. I may have to do some extra R&D once I see progress.
Phase 2 - Stage 3 - Transplant
Once we get to this point it starts all over. I need to go back to the books and figure out where to go from there.
