Garden is Tilled

Here it is finally tilled. We went much bigger this year its about 900 square feet. I have an area against the house 16 ft by 5 ft for just cucumbers. Also another area about 16 ft by 4 feet for onions. Im so excited and I cant wait to move all these plants outside.

I will post more pics as it comes along more.

Enjoy and Peace

The Seeds Have Sprouted

We planted lots of things for our garden this year including tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, bell peppers, lettuce, and cucumbers. We still have other things to plant directly in the garden including green beans.

We tilled about 900 square feet for the main garden and 16 feet by 5 feet for just cucumbers. Another section the same size, this section will be used for growing lettuce and onions.

We also tilled up about 40 feet by 5 feet for flowers that I will sell at the Farmer's Market.

Enjoy the pics and get out and support local farmers by attending a Farmer's Market in your area.

Look What We Made!

Our garden was overflowing with cucumbers so we decided it was time to make some dill pickles. We picked them fresh yesterday sliced some and made some dill pickle spears. We put dried red peppers and a clove of garlic in the jar to make them nice and spicy.

We also made blackberry and strawberry jam from berries from a local farmer here.

We will keep some for ourselves and sell some at the local Farmer's Market.

I had some of the blackberry jam this morning and it was wonderful.

Here are some pictures of us canning the pickles and making the jam.

Enjoy.

Green is good

Well hello, exciting day here. Garden is doing really fantastic, picked our first pepper today. More on their way, but the first is the best. The tomatoes are also coming along well, alot of small ones. Cucumbers are ready to take over the whole area, so we are going to build a trellis to let them grow up also. We intend to put up some pickles this summer, and also can tomatoes if there are any left that I don't eat!

Peace

How Does My Garden Grow

We finally planted our garden yesterday! First we had to clean out an area that had a lot of weeds so that was hard. We then planted tomatoes,cucumbers, peppers,radishes and cilantro. I'm so excited I cant wait for the first tomatoes. I didn't have a watering can so we recycled a kitty liter container. My husband drilled holes in the lid and it works perfect for watering the plants.
Happy gardening.
Enjoy
