SUNSHINE!

A few days of sunshine have done the garden good! I headed up this morning to get a few things done and managed to remember the camera before leaving the house.

Couldn't ask for a better day to be gardening.

Happy Corn

Happy Tomatoes

Happy Peppers

The onions are looking fantastic! And the kids will all soon be running around the garden eating those fresh carrots.

Happy Potato Patch

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...

Harvest Party

I KNOW that there were a few more people out there taking pictures so I expect to see a few more pictures from our Harvest Party. Thanks to everyone for making it a great get together.

The few that braved the pool, the water, so they say, was warm but it was quite chilly that day.

Rich and Lois were kind enough to let us set up in the barn.

My favorite part of the night, all the kids in the pumpkin patch.

A family of mice were living under one of the pumpkins.

Fall Planting

New fall planting: carrots, lettuce, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, radishes and others that I can't remember. We met on 9/29 and when I went out on 10/7 the radishes had already sprouted!
