**This is all about my garden. I’m not really writing it for y’all, but to document it for myself! But, please read if you’d like. Oh, and Anne, if you see this, please show the pictures to our FIL. Thanks!**
We’ve sort of finished a phase in our garden. I guess you could say our Winter/Spring garden is finished. Here’s the garden as it looked in March:
This was a few weeks ago (before the temps hit 90!!!):
Here it is today (after we pulled out all the peas and we’ve eaten most of the lettuce, spinach, and cabbages):
We’ve eaten: lettuce, spinach, Swiss chard, cabbage, sugar snaps, broccoli, English peas, carrots and onion tops.
In next year’s spring garden, we’ll grow: lettuce, spinach, Swiss chard, cabbage, broccoli, LOTS more sugar snaps, carrots and onion tops. (and those fluffy asparaguses that are developing great little root systems right now. (We didn’t find the English peas to be worth the effort.)
Next up: We are waiting on our tomatoes to ripen and our squashes to get bigger.
Our summer garden has: some Swiss chard, cucumbers, cantaloupes, green beans, bush beans, cherry tomatoes, Early Girl tomatoes, green zucchinis, yellow crook-necked squash, purple onions, yukon potatoes, strawberries, and sunflowers. We also have dill, mint (2 kinds), basil, oregano, stevia, cilantro, sage, tarragon.
I’ve also given some thought to the fall. I think it will look much like our spring garden: cabbage, broccoli, sugar snaps, lettuces, and carrots.
Ok, I know this post is not for us but I'm going to comment anyway. ;0) Beautiful garden, Salinda. I hear you on the peas…if you don't plant a lot, you have a lot of work for not a lot of veggie. And do you know the one thing I can't grow? Squash and zucchini. Yep, the summer garden staple of the south. I can't grow it because of the little buggers know as squash borer worms. I'm jealous of those who can. :0)
