Week One

Here is the layout of the beds as of week one, now that almost everything has been planted. 

This one contains, in the back row:  tomato plants,  and a green bell pepper; middle row: cantaloupe, cherry tomato, and okra; and in the front row:  orange bell pepper (just bought, not planted yet) and green bell peppers.  On the left and right sides of the box are green onions.  

                                       

This box has 8 sugar snap peas around the perimeter, and cucumber seeds at the bottom of the ring so they will climb the tower, hopefully.  The cukes are starting to peep through the soil!  

                                         

This box has from back to front:  cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower, potatoes and zucchini (or squash), and garlic, potatoes, and zucchini.    The garlic and potatoes aren't up yet, but they should be pretty soon.  The zucchini or squash in the center row, right side is a volunteer from last year's crop.  It's kind of hard to see, but it is just southeast of the cauliflower, close to the side of the box.  I don't know what it will grow yet!  

                                        

This box has in the back row: pimiento pepper and green bell pepper; middle row:  beefsteak tomatoes with a potato in the center of the box; and front row:  banana pepper and green bell pepper.  All around the 4 sides of this box are yellow onions.  They are already coming up!  

                                 

This is the strawberry bed on the left that overwintered pretty well and the asparagus bed.  They haven't come through the soil yet, but they should soon.  

Year 2

We got all of the rest of the garden put in today (Kirstin and Paula), so look for pictures to be coming soon. The seeds didn't cooperate too well, so we purchased seedlings and roots and planted those. Hope these do better. So we'll be calling this WEEK ONE, and will be dating the garden from this week forward. Hope this makes sense. Look for pictures soon!
