Yup...that's me.
Carrie, thanks for nudging me to post...that squirrel offer is still on the table if I start to slack off again.
Onward...
Last month...pretty much to the date is when we put the rest of our garden in, and I'm glad I remembered to take a photo because I'm amazed by how fast everything has been growing so far!
We're already enjoying peas, spinach, lettuce, rhubarb, strawberries, and herbs. I'm looking forward to when it will be time to enjoy all the other goodies as well.
So looking at the photo and moving from left to right we have peas, spinach/lettuce/swiss chard, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers, summer squash, spinach, artichoke, okra, carrots, sweet banana peppers, yellow/red peppers, and purple hull peas. The area towards the front is occupied by tomatoes, and then in the back from left to right is the rhubarb, potatoes, raspberries, and strawberries. And then there's the odd peach tree thrown in....not our doing! :) We also have a little strip just outside of the photo for most of our herbs.
I've been geeking out over gardening, and I love walking through it and seeing how things are coming along. I'm totally one of those loonies who talks to my plants, apologizing when I accidentally rip one up with a weed, and of course I have choice words for all the WEEDS...yikes they loooove our garden. Those big city trash cans...well, after weeding this last round, the weeds filled just about half the can! Can't say I'm a big fan of weeding, but the good news there is that the fingers I was starting to lose feeling in from all that weeding, are now starting to improve....I think. ;)
I'm sure it won't be long before I'm dumping a lot of produce off on people...so get your bellies ready!
