Busy with the Garden

August 9, 2012 by Karen

We didn’t get our garden in until around the 1st part of June.  Here are pics from about a week ago.  Here are my kids and a 5 gallon pail of broccoli and cauliflower.  

Sampling the produce as they help

My oldest with “Hanky”, the kitten

We didn’t have room for the onions in the garden so they went in one of my raised beds that was partially used for asparagus.

A flower bed that is zinnias, irises, petunias and liatris

Just a pretty zinnia

Here is our pipe garden made with 8″ PVC.  This is year #2 experimenting with it.

Peppers

Pak choi (chinese cabbage)

Cilantro

Basil

1st year trying the beets in the pipes

Kale

Broccoli started from seed around the 4th of July.  It usually germinates well with the heat this time of year and then has less problems with insects than an earlier crop.

Cucumbers on our trellis

Our nine chickens and one rooster in their outdoor enclosure.

Zucchini

Edamame (soybeans). This our first time growing this.

Another section of pipe with Pak Choi.  The deer have been stripping it off like candy if we aren’t religious with the milorganite.

One of my arch enemies in the field around our property that is planted with soybeans this year. (Photo from 6/12).
