It is a short 3-5 min bike ride from my house, depending on the length of the one traffic light I have to ride through. The garden is surrounded by houses and apartments.
There are a couple sheds with tools for any of the gardeners to use while at the pea patch. This is especially nice since I didn't bring any tools with me. I'll buy my own trowel and hand rake, but wasn't looking forward to purchasing all new shovels and so forth. So, it's nice that I don't have to buy them.
There is also hose hook up or lots of watering cans, if a gardener prefers to haul the water. Since the garden isn't that big, I'll probably use the watering cans.
I'm currently thinking of what I will plant in the pea patch. I have requested a seed catalog from one of the companies that my favorite seed company recommended. They offer an English version of their catalog, which is so nice for me!
I know I will grow cucumbers, winter squash, and tomatoes. Peas and beans are a must, but might be better suited to growing in a pot in our little courtyard versus using up space in the garden. I might dedicate some of the garden to peppers, since my son is such a big fan of them. For the most part, I just want to look through seed catalogs and see what interests me. My son has specifically requested sunflowers, which I'm sure I will oblige. They are so easy and always bring a smile to my face.
No matter what, I plan on getting my hands dirty, soaking up the sunshine, and growing some beautiful food.
