Before and After

This is obviously the before picture taken in April. It does look sort of dreary. The garden is buried and just waiting for warm weather. It is amazing what 3 months can do!
The after shots are much better! Fresh garden green salads, daily. The peas should be podded out in another week.

It's hard to beat fresh veggies! Everything is doing great this year with the exception of radishes. No matter what, we cannot stop them from bolting. The spinach and swiss chard are monstrous and yet very tasty. Oh, well, we will have room for an extra row of something next year/

The Kholrabi may be in that category too, as they have not yet started to swell out. we were told that the 50% compost/black dirt was too rich and to add bone meal. It likely made a difference with the rest of the crops, but not those two. I hate to give up on them, but i am on the verge.

The cucumbers are ready in the greenhouse and the pumpkins are flowering like crazy. Those stay in the greenhouse all summer to try to get a little more growing season.

The zucchinis are outside and what can I say, they are growing like there is no tomorrow. We should be eating baby zuchs next week.

It poured rain all day and night so I took some time between caring for baby chicks to enjoy a good afternoon power nap.

Tomorrow is supposed to be clear so back to work cutting grass, weed whacking the lower field, cleaning out a smelly chicken coop and looking after max, the wonder pup. Oh yeah, hopefully having coffee in town with a good buddy before taking a load to the town dump.
