Garden - 2nd Entry

More of our 1st Garden Attempt. Please see entry below for more detail. In addition to the plants shown in the two blogs we also planted cucumber, and peas. We were fortunate to have lots of strawberries as volunteers from last year, as well as quite a few Sunflowers, though a couple broke off, and we removed the rest because they were crowding out the other plants.


Broccoli. Jeremy loves fresh broccoli, so we will be
enjoying that soon!

We planted regular carrots and purple carrots. The
regular carrots seem to be shorter and fatter, while the
purple carrots seem to be long and thin. However,
it appears they aren't purple al the way through!

Squash....way too much squash....any takers?

Tomatoes! They are getting riper!

Garden - 1st Entry

This is our little garden. Jeremy and I are learning a lot about each other as we have taken on this endeavor. For example - Planting Style. Jeremy carefully takes each seed from the package and places it in the desired location. Cadi, digs a trench and sprinkles some seeds. Garden Care. Cadi doesn't care too much if the neighbor dogs run on through. Jeremy, is very protective and gets very upset. He bought fencing material for the future.

However, we have too much of just about everything (except strawberries, you can never have too many strawberries). It doesn't help that we had planted only 3 tomato plants when Jeremy brought home about 9 more left over tomato plants from his students' school project. All have taken off. They are fighting with the squash for territory.


Isn't it cute?

Our leaf lettuce was the first to take off, and we have
been enjoying lettuce since about June.

We are about to enjoy some cabbage. A lot of cabbage
actually, since they were planted with Cadi's method.

Carrots (forground), with Jeremy's mass of school
tomatoes. Squash is behind.

Our other 3 tomato plants. We should be enjoying
those in August. Cadi may be canning tomatoes and
pasta sauce.
