Gardening

 


The seedlings have been mostly planted. I have a few tomato plants that are still sitting in my window sill, getting stronger. The bed on the lower left is squash, radishes and peppers. The bed on the lower right is lettuce, kale, spinach and leafy greens. Some celery too. You can't really see it, but there are really plants in there.  The upper right is the tomato bed. There are two tomatoes there now. Plus, one in its own pot in the top middle of the picture (my "birthday tomato bush" from Marty). The tomato seedlings will be planted after the rain storm we are expecting this week. 

The top left will have potatoes, onions and garlic. I'm questioning whether or not the potatoes will grow, as the bed is pretty shallow, I'm thinking we will probably add another layer of soil/planks as the plants grow and double the size of the bed. That will probably help them out. But, I don't need to do that today. 

Oh, that black thing in the top left is a composter. Not sure how that's going to work out just yet. Stay tuned. Right now it's about 1/4 full and nothing has had a chance to decompose. 

What isn't pictured is the cucumbers, beans, pumpkin (Polly swore we needed pumpkins), cilantro, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. They are in another part of the yard. 

There is also a flower bed and a blueberry, blackberry and raspberry bush.
