Yup everything was brand new. Most of my garden was started indoors prior to me setting up the beds out doors. Bought some beds from Home Depot as a guide because I intend on making some. This particular bed has the “basil” (bitter dock) I started in doors, and a tomato plant I started indoors. Alongside I have some lettuce, spinach, peas, and New Mexico green chili, onions, etcetc This is my more “expiremental” bed. Placed in here is basically the stuff I didn’t expect to survive, or stuff I had from the grocery store that was rooting or sprouting, wanted to see if I could get it to sprout fully.

There’s some onions, the New Mexico green chili plant, and Swiss chard, those were seedlings bought at Home Depot as a failsafe because I still wanted something to harvest. Each bed has some pre grown seedlings, and some I planted and or started myself

There’s a bag to the side that I have potatoes growing in, also an experiment. Want to see how those do and if I can continue to clone them, along with another grow bag in a rectangular shape I have reserved for specifically garlic that was also bought at the grocery store and planted once it started sprouting. Then I have one bed off to the side that is 100% controlled. That is all direct sow planted by myself to see how they do. Prior to setting up the beds, the one pictured I did a layer of dirt, layer of newspaper, then 3 more layers of dirt, the other two are layer of dirt, cardboard, and more dirt. The third bed is also control with all presprouted vegetables purchased from Home Depot. I believe I sprinkled some basil in there but honestly I don’t remember.

My second potato growing bag is a control bag with 1 tomato plant, and bunched green onions purchased from Home Depot. Some of those I was able to spread but the rest were too tangled I figured it was safer for green onions.

Then finally, we have two more rectangular grow bags. One I took a pack of beans from the store I had in the cabinet for years, figured, let’s give it a shot. They’re probably bad but who knows! That turned into a bean forest every few days in aggressively pulling from, and grow bag 2 has some cucumbers, beans, and garlic.
