Ten Picture Garden Update

Just a quick update on the garden. I figured the pictures tell a better story. Suffice it to say that things are growing well. We have added trellises to our new containers and more soil in our asparagus bed.

Here's a picture of said asparagus bed:

Here are our strawberries. They are doing really well. I'm happy that the leaf disease is no longer a problem. We fixed it by removing the infected leaves and any leaved that were lying on the soil.

More fruit on our plants:

Our beans have come up. Our tomatoes are growing higher in their cages. The peppers are doing well. They seem to be a little yellow though. The broccoli is doing well too!

Here's a close-up of the tomatoes:

This next picture is the top half of the box because our sweet peas are climbing higher and I can't fit it all in one photo. We had to help the sweet peas find the trellis.

Here's the bottom half of the same container. The beans are coming up and the radishes are ready for picking.

Here we have our transplanted watermelon and cucumbers. We have some spinach, zucchini, and peppers in this container.

This is our vine tomatoes which are doing well. There are flowers on most of our plants.

Here's the same box but from a different vantage. Our herbs are doing great!

Garden Update

Today we worked some more on the fence. Here's a picture of what it looks like up to this point:

The last section in the back has a difficult slope that needs to be worked on. In the front we need to put up a gate with an arbor.

Today we also transplanted cucumbers and planted spinach. This is our strawberry bed.

Here is our asparagus bed. We have a couple of spears that have turned into ferns.

This bed has our sweet peas in the back, our radishes to the center left, and grass clippings throughout the rest of the bed.

Here are (going left to right) two brocolli plants and our determinate tomatoes: Belstar and Rutgers.

And in this bed we have our indeterminate tomatoes (Cherokee Purple, San Marzano, Isis, & Red Grape), our Italian parsley, and basil. We also have our carrots and thyme and oregano in this bed.

Our tomato plants didn't like the cold weather.

Our blueberry bushes have yellow leaves. This may be due to an iron deficiency or too much water. It has rained all of last week so I wouldn't be surprised if it is too much water.

Another Nice Weekend for Work

Luckily we had another great weekend for weather.  Mike did a lot more digging and got 5 more posts in.  We also got 2 more fence pieces up.  Our spinach, peas, radish are up and growing.  Mike put weekly feed on the broccoli and peas.  I'm glad things are working out even though it's been wetter and colder than than normal.

This is one of the big rocks Mike had to dig out of a post hole

The garden as of Saturday night.  Lots of progress
