Saturday, March 5, 2011. Day two. The whole team got together to erect a fence around the garden. We put up fence posts and attached some very attractive chain-link, then fashioned a doorway. The door is a work in progress. Probably.
Eddie, Andrew and Mandy (with a little "help" from Rory) grabbed some tools and made twenty rows in the dirt. Karen and Rory helped stomp the ground to make paths around our quadrants. Jack ate some dirt.
Karen, Andrew and Mandy finished putting seeds and bulbs in the ground just before sundown (and just before a delicious steak dinner.) We're crossing fingers, because if all goes well, our crop will include:
Purple Tomatillos (Go Frogs! Or, "We're suckers for anything purple!")
Roma Tomatoes
Early Girl Tomatoes
Cherry Tomatoes
Jalepeno Peppers
Sweet Pepper Mix (Bell Peppers)
Banana Peppers
Garlic
White Onions
Fennel
Basil
Dill
Rosemary
Thyme
Spinach
Lettuce, Romaine and Green
Green Beans
Potatoes, Red, White and Russet
Carrots
Turnips
Cucumbers
Snow Peas
Sugar Snap Peas
Butternut Squash
Broccoli
In April, we'll plant:
Okra
Zucchini
Yellow Squash
The plan is to take pictures every Sunday afternoon. Here we go!
