slowly but surely we have been picking vegetables out of the gardens. i’ll just attach photos, instead of listing everything.

the garden at the shop
the many gardens
i have several gardens and finally, the each have their own names. it makes it easier to us to describe where something is planted…e.i. needs watered or weeded.
this is the lower garden. i have included before and current pictures.
the lower garden is planted with zucchini, tomatoes, carrots, beets, onions and brussel sprouts
on one side of the lower garden is as an attached raised bed…this is the lower flower bed
it is planted with sunflowers
then there is the upper garden
it is planted with tomatoes, peppers, beans, onions, chard, basil, okra, eggplant, tomatillos, cukes and flowers
almost last, is the upper wall garden…not too original, but so far it works
asparagus, watermelon, rhubarb, and sweet potatoes are planted in this bed
what’s left…there are two raised bed, 3’x5′,one for each of the boys. and lastly, there are two raised beds, 4’x20′ at the shop. i will get pictures of that later
the boys gardens have/had carrots, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, cilantro, spinach and flowers
onions and garlic
pulled onions from the lower garden the other day. they are drying in the sun ( since there’s no chance of rain).
from the upper garden, i pulled garlic last week and just pulled the other garlic bed yesterday. they are also out drying in the sun. i did remember to take a picture before and after harvest.
someday i’ll figure out how to successfully braid the onions and garlic for hanging
first mistake
the first mistake i noticed ( which was one of the reasons I decided to start keeping track of things this way) was that when i planted two different types of peas, Little Marvel and Sugar Ann, i apparently transposed their planting locations…and in turn their support systems.
this nice tall netting trellis was for the ‘Little Marvel’ peas who grew about 30-36″ tall.
these pictures are of ‘Little Marvel’ whom did their best to grow on the 18″ tall mesh supports i was trying out for the ‘Sugar Ann” peas. i do not have a picture of the shorter peas that were growing on the six foot netting ( i pulled them before i took a picture)…the other mistake
