The Garden is in!

Finally finished the garden today! I think....

Okay, I want peas but they are gone everywhere I went. Maybe try somewhere else next week.

I left myself a spot for them!

 

This year we reused some old wood and made ourselves a raised garden...about 3-4'X12' long!

Pretty sweet honestly. We also made it 'greenhouse' like as well. It can be covered when it gets cold so hopefully we get ourselves a longer growing season.

 

I also FINALLY got my strawberries planted. They are hanging this year.

I'm sick of sharing them with the ants. (The ants don't share well.)

 

Trying some new plants this year.

Planted onions for the first time

and Eggplant (because I love my Eggplant Parmigiana)

Got some mild peppers as well...

and Some bell peppers...LOVE THOSE.

 

I even planted some cilantro.

 

It's a very different garden. On top of the squash, tomatoes and cucumbers I think we'll have a good mix.

(Planning on making salsa often....and pizza sauce if I can remember what I did that one year I made it! Throwing stuff together is a great way to cook...

unless it turns out GREAT and you don't write it down!!!)

 

I'm kind of thinking of adding a new box garden each year all along that back of the yard. We have quite a bit of space and could really have quite the garden if we wanted.

For now, this is a good start. We can always get things to grow well for us but the season ends too soon.

This year, hopefully the cover will help that!
