One Step at a Time

We had a little setback with our cucumber and squash starts, they didn't survive two really hot days immediately followed by a really cold night. No worries though, we will put seeds straight into the ground. A few of us showed up on Sunday to plant a few more things and check on the rest of the garden.

Raspberries

Peas

Onions Looking Good

Zucchini

Squash Patch

Our tomato starts were transplanted into 4" pots on Monday.

Get Your Garden Started

Tonight we met up at the garden and started to plant. Lots of onions, green onions, broccoli, turnips, beets and potatoes (sorry if I missed any) were all put in. I personally didn't get to stay too long but it was fun to see everyone coming together and getting the job done.

Just getting started.

Families hard at work.

Passing on gardening to the next generation.

We got a lot done today.

Plenty o' potatoes (said with an Irish accent).

Gardening and kids can result in some cute pictures...

It may be hard to believe, but the kids loved playing in the dirt.

Seedlings

Some of the seeds that were planted about a week and a half ago already needed to be transplanted into the larger 4 inch pots. Chris and the Johnson Family met up at Kevin's and got to work. Cucumbers, zucchini and other varieties of squash were all done today. The tomatoes and peppers, although growing, aren't ready to transplant yet.

Needing to be transferred.

Lots of help.

Moving into their new homes.

Next stop, the garden!

Water Water Everywhere

That line of dirt leading to Chris, Joel and Noah means...

That we have running water surrounding the garden!

Greenhouse

Chris' friend, Kevin, offered to let us use his greenhouse to get some of our plants started this year. We planted over 700 seeds yesterday including a variety of tomatoes, peppers, squash and cucumbers. Once the rest of the seeds arrive, we will finish things off with a few more tomatoes and some lettuce plugs. The green house was a joy to be in, nice, warm and comfortable. I almost hated to leave. I will bring my camera with me when I go out to water the starts and take a few pictures.
