Keith tilled the garden several weeks ago. Between freezing temperatures, frost, down pours, ball games, and just plain laziness I didn't get the garden planted until today.
I signed up for a CSA half-share through work so I had to rethink the garden some this year. I tried to plant veggies that I can freeze so we can enjoy them throughout the winter. Or at least I will enjoy them, hopefully Keith will learn to like them.
I started out with some sugar snap peas. I planted two rows close together and hopefully can some up with something between the two rows that they can grow on.
Green beans, broccoli, brussel sprouts, carrots, tomatoes, radishes, salad greens, garlic, herbs, patty pan, pumpkin, and squash add to the mix.
I'm trying the salad greens and a few flowers in square foot garden style. Not sure how it will turn out.
And yes, the green pails are back.
This volunteer from last year was the inspiration.
It may or may not be patty pan. I'm not sure. I did plant more patty pan in this pail and some in another pail. Cucumbers are planted in pail 3 (they never do well in the garden - something seems to always eat the seeds). Pail 4 has acorn squash, which were seeds that were left over from last year.
We moved our wood pile. Well, I should say we. Keith and our two oldest grandchildren, Griffin and Hayden moved it while I was at work. So I know have more room in the garden. It may be a little misshapen but I'm hoping for a fruitful season.
So far no signs of a drought this year. It was fun playing in the mud!
