to grow tomatoes and strawberries? Maybe even cucumbers?
I have an outdoor atruim attached to my master bedroom and I would love to turn it into a mini garden. Right now it isn't ready. I've taken a pic and attached it so you can get an idea of what I am working with. Right now the planting "boxes" are full of sand. I live in NM. I'm planning on digging out all the sand and replacing it with soil. I'm not sure what soil to use. Compost, potting soil, top soil? I know nothing about gardening. . There are 2 big boxes about 4' wide and 3' from front to back, I don't know how deep they are yet. and there is another box that is about 4' wide and 1' from front to back. What would do best in a smaller area? I would like to stick to things we eat regularly like tomatoes, strawberries, and cucumbers, we eat a lot of potatoes but I have no idea how to even start growing those and I don't know if my area is big enough. I can expand the growing area though! I can utilize the entire atrium. Any help would be great.......
