2013 Garden


This is my second attempt at gardening. Last year went well enough...until my chickens were brutally taken from me and I basically abandoned my garden. Hopefully this year turns out a little better. 
Sprouts April 5th
 

Again I started  from seeds that were kept inside until they grew strong enough to transplant into the garden. I planted way more than necessary just in case they didn’t all take and we could also give some to friends and family, I definitely have to give some away since we don’t have the garden space for even half that amount! My bad. J

Tearing up grass sure isn’t that much fun, but after some hard work we got our garden space cleared out, mixed in some soil and were able to plant our seedlings yesterday. I’m so excited to have some fresh vegetables this summer!!

There are strawberries, tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, cucumbers, red leaf lettuce, spinach, rainbow swiss chard, carrots, and onions. Chives and oregano survived from last year, and we have basil in the house. The peppers and jalapeƱos aren’t ready to be planted yet, they have barely begun sprouting. Maybe once the weather heats up they’ll start to grow.

Still sprouting we have butternut squash, beans, and cilantro that will soon need to be transplanted. Well, the beans are ready and will probably do that tonight!

Avocado "Planted" April 6th



I also started a couple avocado seeds in hopes that in 7 years we'll have some fruit. lol I hope they sprout and produce if I manage to hold on to them that long!
