The New Garden is GROWING!

So far the growing season has been fantastic for us this year. This is the new garden we made in the beginning of April (and you can see the new herb garden behind it which needs a few more bricks on the back). In this one, we’ve already got baby squash and pickling cukes (too bad I don’t know how to can). We also planted pole beans, bush beans, regular cukes, spaghetti squash, ichiban eggplant, stevia, and dill.

In the other two smaller gardens, we’ve already harvested lettuce, broccoli, peas, and basil and I think the kale and beets may be ready. The green onions are still a bit small, but still chop up nicely like chives. I also spied some little hot peppers and baby green tomatoes! The only thing that didn’t do anything was the spinach… will have to try planting it earlier next year.

The garden has us so excited this year that I am already thinking about where else i can put more veggies… hmmm. I really want an asparagus bed and a strawberry bed. I’m also wondering if I can move the squash along my fence where I get lots of sun and make more room in these ones. Oh, the decisions!
