Garden In

Finally!


We got the garden in yesterday. We planted the herbs last week: basil, thyme, oregano, parsley, peppermint, chocolate mint, cilantro. The lettuce, spinach & raddishes have been in for 3 weeks. Yesterday we got the bulk of the garden in. Peas, green beans, cabbage, broccolli, cauliflower, onions, carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes, pumpkins, spaghetti squash, zuchinni, cukes, gourds, cantalope & watermelon. Whew!


I am so glad to have it in. Now we water & pray & water & pray. Last year my garden was pathetic. We basically harvested nothing. So this year I am truly hoping & praying for a bountiful harvest. Baskets & baskets of vegies to eat fresh, freeze, can & dehydrate. Lord willing.



The raised beds with the garden behind. Black plastic down for warmth & weed control.



The squash section. Small gourds & cukes are planted around the tipi.



Peas & beans will grow up the panels, the posts will hold down the plastic until the plants grow  thru.


Today we had a few radishes, our first harvest


Blessings.
