Imagine the sweet, juicy flavor of a tomato that is still warm from the day's sunshine. My owners have spent years developing a productive vegetable garden. If you are that special family whom I am looking for to buy this home in the Chester Springs PA area, you will enjoy fresh vegetables this year!
My owners wanted a vegetable garden so they planted one. The first year they discovered that the soil was mostly clay so they had truckloads of fresh mushroom soil brought in to enrich it. ( This has been done every year.) My owners wanted to have an organic garden, and this has been successful, but with many challenges each year!
The first year they started all of the seeds indoors and lovingly planted them in the garden the beginning of May. The next morning they discovered that the groundhogs and rabbits ate each plant all the way down to the base while they were sleeping. So, it was determined that a fence needed to be built around the garden to keep the critters out.
Then they started using a trap to catch and release them. Each morning they would relocate the animals to a new home far away from the garden. (this always involved a car ride with those animals) Over time, that was no longer a problem.
Some seasons a particular plant was not successful for one reason or another, but they never used any type of chemical fertilizer or pesticide. To overcome the problem of weeds and keep moisture in the soil, a special mat is used all around the plants.
This year they planted heirloom tomatoes, hot and sweet peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, eggplant and basil. Some of the peppers are already to pick! So if you think that you might like to enjoy this vegetable garden this year and for years to come, take a look at me by visiting my realtor's site by clicking here
