Continuous Upgrades

A lot of stuff has gone on this past week. It seems like there is always something to plant, build, or dig. We have also has some gorgeous weather which all of the seedlings have liked. Plants have literally grown inches overnight!


Our pickling cucumbers, still hidden under row cover to hopefully prevent attack from the infamous cucumber beetle.

Pea Pod growing!

Remember our peas, leaf lettuce and mustard greens?
They are much bigger now!


Since I have been getting a lot of our seedlings in the ground, I realized I over estimated how many seeds to start back in March. Here are some extra tomatoes, and various squashes that I will be giving to my family and neighbors for their gardens

Got all of the squash beds planted. This bed will hopefully have a summer squash trellised and a honey boat winter squash trellised. Hopefully the vines won't over-take the bird bath.

And the biggest improvement over the past week is our tomato trellises! Marc whipped these bad boys up in about an hour! We now have 16 tomato plants trellised and another 10 that are determinate in front.

And one of the highlights of the week for me was being able to harvest some of our greens, scallions and radishes to give to our family. It is the best feeling cutting food from your front yard.
