About the only things ready are the strawberries, lettuce and rhubarb. Patience.
Me turning the compost into the new raised bed. Lots of chicken goodness went into here over the winter. Look at how serious I am, I should have worn a hat to keep the sun off my scrunched up face. Oh, you don't see the sunshine.....that's because there isn't any.
We spread hay over the walkways to keep the weeds down, and also as a mulch around the base of the plants. There are a few potato plants that came up on their own, and strawberries around the border of the cinderblock bed. We are growing blue lake pole beans in the barrel with the white trellis. More romaine lettuce is planted in the other barrel.
Volunteer tomato plants, gotta love this. |
A giant bale of hay, yay! |
Zucchini trying desperately to grow with no sun around here. |
I am off now to do a little grocery shopping and maybe....a little jaunt to the thrift store.
Have a blessed day, Tami
Oh, these are wonderful photos! I love this glimpse into your gardens ~ thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks wonderful! We had banana peppers from our garden in our stir fry tonight. Slowly, but surely, we are gathering. We are very hot here - 90s and dry this week. Thanks for sharing!
