So, if you have been reading for a little while, you know that we embarked on an exciting adventure in straw bale gardening. (If you want to catch up, read part one and part two.) Going into this, we figured that if we grew anything, it would be exciting. Neither of us has ever gardened and honestly, I can’t even keep flowers alive. So imagine my surprise when we visited the bales last weekend and things were actually growing!

Straw bale gardening is our adventure this summer. Here is our end of June update. We are so excited that things are actually growing! quirkyandthenerd.com

Our Garden Is Growing

From the beginning of this gardening adventure, I have been excited, but I have kept a little place in the back of my mind that says we might get absolutely no produce out of straw bale gardening. So imagine my surprise when not only do we have pots upon pots of plants on our deck, but we also had a few things growing out of our straw bale garden.

If you want to read about straw bale gardening, I highly recommend “Straw Bale Gardens Complete” by Joel Karsten. It is very informative with amazing picture.

Andrew and I have never gardened before. Like ever. But this year, we had a great opportunity that we just couldn’t pass up. So hopefully our black thumbs will turn green this summer and we can grow all sorts of vegetables! We are using a method I haven’t heard of before called straw bale gardening. We have been basing most of our knowledge on the book “Straw Bale Gardens Complete” by Joel Karsten.

We are trying our hand at straw bale gardening this year. Follow along with our journey. quirkyandthenerd.com
