It took some reorganizing of schedules and a race against the rain, but we got the vegetable garden planted. I've been reading all about the vegetables we planted, little tips and tricks to help them thrive, and I am so excited to work in the garden this year and reap the harvest.
In our one garden we have: onions, eggplant, cauliflower, broccoli, kohlrabi, chard and arugula. The marigolds are there to attract the bees, and to look pretty.
In this other garden we have: black kale, curly kale, red beets, yellow beets, strawberries and radishes(we are growing these from seed).
As usual, things look pretty sparse to begin with, but as we know, it will all fill in.
If everything goes well, we will be dining on fresh veggies all summer long. I can not wait.
Aside from all the veggies, I also planted some Gerber Daisies. I've had these growing on the deck every summer for as long as I can remember and this years' flowers are absolutely gorgeous.
Veggies and flowers, sunshine and rain....the garden is off to a good start this year.
