2010 Garden Totals

Bad year for tomatoes and peppers.  I usually do really good in this area but I didn't have much time to baby them and the weather was just too hot!  I hope to improve this year over last years totals....

2011 Garden

This is a picture of the garden as of today.  Last weekend I added a seventh bed (5ft x 20ft) on the south side.  I plan on planting some sweet corn in this bed in a few weeks.  I also planted some carrots, lettuce, and green onions in two of the beds this past weekend.  Onions have started to emerge through the ground, but the carrots and lettuce show no signs of sprouting or emergence.  I sprayed round-up in the new bed....I was going to give it 7-10 days before I started to put some soil in it.  I have a pile of compost/manure in the southwest corner in the yard as you can see in the photo.  This is what I'll be putting in the bed.  I also got a hold of some chicken manure this winter...I'm going to try and put some across all the beds before planting. 

New Blog!

Hi everyone...I just created this new blog to show everyone my little raised bed garden.  I've been gardening for about 12 years now, but this will only be my second year having a raised bed garden.  I'm kind of new to this whole concept, but I'm really enjoying it so far!  I'm in the process of putting in some hoop houses and drip irrigation in the next few weeks.  I'll be posting some pictures of the progress along the way.  Meanwhile here are a few pictures of the 2010 season!  Enjoy!
