Gardening Update 5/28/2013
Here’s the before picture! We made 3 new raised beds in the garden and loaded them up with new dirt (I bought 2 cubic yards of Leaf-Gro and mixed that with stuff from the chicken coop and vermiculite.)
Got the cinder blocks for free!
Cloth put down to help block weeds
Making the beds!
New raised bed built by my neighbor between our houses. This one contains: garlic, onion, cabbage, cauliflower, and lettuce
Black raspberries taking over my garden
Huge oregano bush
The start of my tomato and pepper area. It’s much more developed now!
Baby romaine lettuce
The chickens found their way into the garden!
Spinach, lettuce, young garlic (I had to dig it up because it was in the way), and eggs!
Here are some updated pictures from my 2014 garden! I added a few new raised beds and bought some dirt so we’re off to a good start! The bugs have already started to eat my green beans, but everything else looks good!
So far I have planted:
- Blackberries
- Raspberries
- Apple Tree
- Peach Tree
- Strawberries (all of mine from previous years died so I started new for 2014)
- Blueberries (Aren’t doing well!)
- Gourds
- Zucchini
- Yellow Squash
- Brussel Sprouts (new for 2014!)
- Cabbage (new for 2014!)
- Cauliflower
- Garlic
- Onion
- Radish
- Lettuce
- Spinach
- Carrots (which as usual don’t seem to be doing anything)
- Tomatoes
- Peppers
- Peas
- Green Beans
- Potatoes
- Herbs
So that’s where all my time at home has been going over the last few weeks! I’ll be posting updates throughout the season, so tune back in.
