Just a Quick Photo Update

I guess I'll start with my big project garden. It is West facing and doesn't get the constant love and attention of my South facing raised beds so we are going to be putting in really low maintenance plants. Right now we have rasberries, blueberries, rhubarb, potatoes, squash and cilantro growing. I have a ton of work to do to this garden still. The first thing we are doing is expanding our berries.



My Pac Man broccoli is getting HUGE! It already has the side shoot florets popping out. It's a really nice looking plant too.



This is our big 4'x8' garden filling out nicely :)



Our front 4 raised beds, we put another container in the middle with some swiss chard and cosmos.

Raised Bed Garden Pictures

This raised bed is my lowest but is still almost a foot high. Un-sodding the ground underneath these boxes was definitely not one of the easiest things I've ever done. I've heard you can also lay down cardboard on the grass, it's suppose to kill the grass but then break down underneath the garden soil. This garden has 2 different types of tomatoes, bush beans, onion chives, 5 mixed sweet peppers, 2 pacman broccoli and 2 non stop begonias. A bug of some sort snacked on one of my broccoli leaves though :(



This is Megan's raised planter. It has 3 different kids of spinach, a chocolate cherry tomato, bell pepper, lucifer onions, freckles lettuce, oregon sugar snap peas and cucumbers. I don't have any good pictures of Eddie's garden but I'll go out and take some later today if it gets sunny enough.


Ok, so this picture isn't exactly a picture of my garden but it is a picture of my first garden harvest of the year. I really nice mix of butter crunch, freckles and red sails lettuce. We also tossed in some fresh from the garden chopped onion chives. The salad was great!

We have over 25 lettuce plants in the garden so far and it's producing enough lettuce for our family of 4 to eat a big salad every other night, if not every night! I also have a ton of spinach out in the garden that I can start using in the salads as well. I can't wait until my radishes, carrots and broccoli get big enough!

Ok, well I have to head out grocery shopping but I'll add more pictures soon :)

and a big hello to my one and only follower!!! Since I saw that at least one person out there was checking this out I was inspired to post a new blog and add some pics. Enjoy!
