Garden Update

I haven't posted any garden pics since we first started planting seeds so I thought I was due to post some updated pictures. We are currently in the process of building a wooden fence around the garden. We were not so lucky this year with the critters. Last year they were not a problem, this year they are. They have been dining on our peas, tomatoes plants, peppers, and lettuce. It is rather annoying. It is far from perfect but we are doing a better job this year so far of keeping up on the weeds.  Here is a stroll through the garden in pictures. 

Zucchini plants, our first zucchini blooms just started coming out this week





Our gigantic heads of lettuce

Tomatoes and Pepper as far as the eye can see....

These are early girls, our first tomatoes to arrive, now they just have to ripen

Nolan and the row of potatoes, three different kinds this year 

Onions, we planted three kinds of onions as well-green, yellow and red

Nolan next to row of yellow crook neck squash

Spinach, we have harvested several batches so far

More onions...

Entire garden

Meredith and the peas

More lettuce


Cantalope, not sure how this will do. It seems small still. This is our first time trying cantalope we have one little bloom so far - so we shall see what happens.

Almost forgot the pumpkins, I planted a Cinderella type and a miniature mix

We are currently harvesting lettuce, spinach, green onions, peas, basil, and rosemary.Will post more later one we start harvesting more. Hope you enjoyed the tour. :-)
