Planning and planting my pizza garden
Before I got started on the planting, I took some time to plan my garden layout, ensuring each plant had the right amount of space and sunlight. I dedicated The Harvest Co. 's Raised Garden Bed to my pizza garden.
I also used The Harvest Co.’s Stake Labels to mark each seed variety (trust me, you’ll need this!). They are easy to write on and I love the assortment of bright colors.
I started researching companion plants to decide which seeds I could plant next to each other for successful growing.
Placed climbing plants in the back which will be trellised once they begin to grow, tomatoes in the middle, and smaller veggies in the front.
I recommend researching “companion plants” so you know what will do well next to each other.
Here are some of my essential growing tips for each plant:
- Tomatoes (San Marzano & Yellow Pear): Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Transplant once temperatures remain above 60°F. Support plants with stakes or cages.
- Parade Onion: Prefers full sun and well-draining soil. Keep soil consistently moist.
- Genovese Basil & Italian Oregano: Loves warm temperatures and thrives in full sun. Harvest leaves regularly to encourage growth.
- English Thyme: A hardy perennial that does well in containers or garden beds. Prune regularly to keep it bushy.
- Bloomsdale Spinach: A cool-season crop—plant in early spring or late summer. Water consistently for tender leaves.
- Sweet & Cayenne Peppers: Start indoors and transplant when night-time temperatures stay above 55°F. Provide ample sunlight.
Harvesting and crafting the ultimate homemade pizza
Once my garden was in full bloom, the real fun began—harvesting and making fresh, homemade pizza! Picking sun-ripened tomatoes, fragrant basil, and spicy cayenne peppers from my own garden brought an unmatched level of satisfaction. What could be better?
For my first pizza, I crafted a classic Margherita:
- Sauce – Blended fresh San Marzano tomatoes with oregano and onions.
- Toppings – Sliced Yellow Pear tomatoes, Genovese basil, and mozzarella cheese.
- Spice – A dash of cayenne for a slight kick.
- Baking – Cooked in a high-heat oven until the crust was golden and crispy.
The result? A mouth-watering homemade pizza that tasted fresher and more delicious than anything I’d had before! The best part was knowing that every ingredient was grown sustainably right in my backyard.
