Finally got our garden in this weekend.... [View all]
With all the rain we've had this spring, the garden is really late going in this year.
We cut back from last year, although we still have more than enough so that we'll give away some to the local food bank. We started giving produce to the food bank two years ago and it has become a tradition, now.
Anyway, in the ground so far, we've got 11 tomato plants (Early Girl, Big Boy, Health Kick, and Moby Grape)..... 4 cucumber plants..... We're trying eggplant this year, 5 of those...... The lettuce has already been coming up nicely, it was planted a month ago. (Black seeded simpson leaf lettuce, red romaine, and arugula). Parsley and basil. And, a whopping 51 green bean plants and 36 yellow bean plants. I wanted a lot of beans to freeze for over the winter. This should interesting, because I only had a half a row of green beans last year, and they were VERY prolific. I may be the Queen of Beans this year......
