Garden Work.

We worked at the down town garden at the church this morning. Will work at the big garden later today when it cools down a little. Just have to plant seeds.
At the church garden we have tomato's, lettuce, snap peas, beans and several other things coming along. We are able to harvest several bags of veggies every Sunday.
At the big garden we have had strawberries, snap peas, lettuce and greens. The blueberries will be ready in a week or two. The fig tree is putting out leaves. The fava beans are ready.
 
 The Artichoke that made it through the winter has a small Artichoke on it and we have two more plants coming along. Yeah. The potato's and tomato's are looking great. Looking forward to lots of fresh veggies this summer.

It is finally warmer.

 

We worked some more in the garden yesterday and it is getting warmer and things are growing faster
 now. Snap peas are starting to grow and can't wait for some fresh peas. We put out Tomato's, peppers, egg plant, celery and more potato's. I just love working in the garden. Flowers and trees are looking good also. Here are a few pictures from yesterday. Hope you enjoy.

Things are growing and it is warming up.

The weather is getting warmer and very near the time to plant in Al. They say here around April 15th.



 





We have some very healthy looking plants more then ready for the garden. Hope to get them in this week-end. Tomato's, egg plant and peppers are most what is ready. We planted green beans, several kinds this last week-end. Also spinach which I just love.

 








 The herb garden is looking good since I cleaned it up. Trees, bushes and flowers are all budding out. I love spring. I will try to do a good job of keeping things up to date. Till the next time.

March 2013 Things are still slow.

Things are still growing slow. The Snap peas and Fava beans are starting to show some new growth. The trees are all beautiful and Our Blueberries are putting out blooms. See if you can see two bees on the brushes. I am the only one posting this year so I will try to do a good job. We have plants ready to put out and the weather seems to be getting warmer. Maybe this week-end we can put them in the ground. I am so looking forward to lots of fresh veggies. Yum.
The Herb garden is looking good after it was cleaned up. Wonderful Herbs for our cooking.

Things have been slow, lots of rain and cold.

We have not done much since last post. The weather has been very wet and cold.  Things are showing a few signs of coming up where we planted. We do have seeding ready to go into the ground and thought we would work some today but it is why to cold down to 28 tonight. We planted more indoor seeding last Saturday, tomato's, peppers, egg plant and such. I so am wanting Spring.  Here are a few pictures of the first seeding we planted. Good Gardening to all.

Garden for 2013

This is our new garden for 2013. The Farmer had surgery and this is the third day after and he is telling us what to do. He wanted so bad to get out and work but we would not let him.  We have changed things a little. Made some walk ways so I could get to the veggies better and so we can run a drip system. That should make it easier to water. We planted snap peas, beets, spinach, fava beans and lettuce. We have seeding up and will plant more today. I will try to do better about posting this year.

Todays Harvest.

We are getting lots of good stuff from the garden. Way more then we can eat so we share with friends and coworkers. We are not weighting the veggies this year. It takes a lots of time and we have done it for several years. It was dry but this week we have had rain which is good. Here are some of the things we harvested.
