May 14th Work Party

There was another work party on Friday as Amy said in her email...
Thanks to all who came on Friday! We worked really hard and got all the tomato fencing up (minus 1/2 row) and all the tomatoes planted. We fit 28 per row that gives us 168 tomato plants if they all survive! Hope you are all ready for more tomatoes to can!
We also got the basil row planted – 30 plants! A few cucumbers in that needed to come out of their pots and the cantaloupes planted.

We have a couple more busy work days ahead of us but the garden is coming along quite nicely!

Tomato starts that were pulled from the greenhouse and planted.

The basil is looking incredible!

Quick shot of the potato plants, we've already started to cover some of them over.

North half of the garden...half of the tomato rows.

May 7th Work Party

A bunch of pictures from our work party...

Yukons

Onions are looking fantastic!

Peas are Strung

One-half of five rows of corn planted.

Transplanted garlic looks to be doing just fine.

Future Blueberries

Part of the work crew planting the cabbage patch.

Lettuce/greens are doing well.

Follow the leader!

The leader, apparently, stopped a bit too quick.

Can't post about a work day without a picture of Chris on the tractor.

My favorite picture of the day!

April Planting

Planting began in April, although I missed the first work night, I made it out the next week to plant the lettuce plugs and, of course, take a few pictures...

Berries and Transplanted Garlic
Tried to take a picture of all the markers that were already out there.

No boxes this year, just rows.

Feels good to be gardening again, here's to a great season!

2010 Garden

Figured I should start gathering all of my pictures and start posting to the garden blog again. I hope to be caught up by the end of the weekend!

As you all know by now, the garden has been moved over next to the barn. This seems, so far, to be a better location for many reasons. I guess we'll see as the year progresses. We met Chris out at the garden back in February and I took a quick picture...
