Getting more seedlings put under the lights. |
|
|

|
Building boxes, getting prepared for the square foot garden. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The start of my square foot garden experiment. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After digging out a sidewalk, tilled up along this 40 feet of fence to have room for 5 more boxes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Still need to finish filling the boxes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Still working on filling and getting the strings put on. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Have a few things planted. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Getting this fence line ready to plant. |
|

|
May has been so cold. |
|
Built a couple mini green houses to protect some of the plants from freezing. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just a view from the front. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Got the fence put up and the connecting boxes. |
|
Will use those for squash and melons. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The only tomato plant I bought |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hoping to have some early tomatoes from this one. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The garden is doing so well even Nikky, our lab, is rolling over in utter joy!! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another view from the front. |
|
You can see our grass seed here isn't doing so well yet. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
View along the other fence line. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cabbage plants |
|
Just put another dusting of Garden Guard on today. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pole Beans |
|
Some are starting to find their way up the fence. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The patio tomatoes are nice and bushy. In the front are the shallots, they seem to be coming along nice. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here are some more pole beans, eggplants and roma tomatoes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here are some squash or zucchini, I forgot to write down what I planted here!! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here are the carrots. They still need some thinning. The smaller ones are the ones I had to replant. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
My herb bed. The dill is really getting big. I've been picking lots of parsley and cilantro. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The potatoes are really huge. It's too late to hill them. I don't know if I'll get much from them or not. Maybe a few small ones. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is one of the onion beds. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a mix of beans, mustard greens, and collards. Oh and one pepper plant in the lower right hand corner because my okra didn't come up. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here are the rest of the onions and some beets. You can kind of see here how the heavy rains kind of messed up my onions. The first 4 squares are my garlic. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is my salad bed. Swiss chard, spinach, lettuce and radishes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Look here, I think I might get a jalepeno pepper. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The strawberries are really growing. I'm still picking off the buds so they don't produce this year. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some more salad and cauliflower. In the center I'm finally getting some asparagus shooting up. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
My cukes still have a ways to go. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The rhubarb in the center is doing well. I just planted 4 more roots last week. Looks like they'll be coming up shortly. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
My container roma tomato is doing quite well. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
My peas took a beating the other night. Some of them actually broke off. I tried to tie them up. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The moss roses are starting to take off and filling in the pots. |
