Gardening 2011

I can't believe that it has been over a year since I last posted. Where does the time go? The garden is mostly planted for this year except for a few squares which I hope to plant with a salad mix. Everything is growing nicely thanks to the rain and now the sun. My mother and sister have done a good job of keeping the seed beds watered and now all the seedlings are reaching for the sky. This year making their appearance in the garden are; yellow and green beans, tomatoes, peas, zucchini, english cucumbers, carrots, red peppers and 1 green pepper, beets, swiss chard, kale, kohlrabi, radishes, red cabbage, onions, leeks, basil, parsley and of course the perennial herbs oregano, tarragon, sage, thyme and lemon thyme, chives and a huge, in need of thinning, crop of dill.
I finally got stepping stones and natural cedar mulch in the new garden walkway which is a huge improvement upon the mud and weeds. Happy Gardening!
