My first garden – Reddit Post

I started getting into gardening last year. I did a few herbs and some Mary Jane in pots last year and fell in love with it despite losing most of my plants to root rot from overwatering. Now we’re much more settled into the new house and this is my first real attempt at a garden.

Im so happy with my work. I did the beds with fallen and pruned limbs from our willows. Filled em with Mel’s mix. Super simple trellis for the tomatoes and other climbers. I’ve got two tomatoes in now as an experiment even though I know it’s probably too early for those (I have 9 more on top of the fridge). My lettuces I started from seed, going to get more from the nursery tomorrow. Got a raspberry and blackberry plant, I’m debating on where to put them currently. A few potatoes in 5 gallon pots. And some mint in a little pot.

I’m curious what other NY 6a gardeners have had success with and what you haven’t had much luck with? I’ve got a bunch of space that needs filling, what should I grab at the nursery tomorrow? I have swiss chard, kale, tomatoes, basil, onions and MJ started from seed already.
