This week is the last slow week in gardening I'll have for some time. Feb marks the beginning of serious gardening here. This week I added some pea trellises to the garden beds. I've got about 2 more to do before I plant next week. I worked in some new soil to what originally was going to be the herb garden but now shall be called the artichoke garden. Molly (the mangy dog) dug up the artichoke garden soil and found all the newspaper and brown bags I laid down to prevent weeds. *sigh*
Luffas growing so well, I'll start transitioning them outdoors this week.
Basil
Swiss Chard
After my youngest (3yrs) proved to have a major green thumb we decided to plant snow peas and already they've popped out.
Chinese cabbage
We have 3 variety of lettuce growing right now. I'll be doing succession planting all throughout the season.
These little lettuce guys were started outside in the pots 2 weeks ago.
The Hubster has been hard at work finishing filling up the garden with fill dirt and putting in posts.
This shall be named the Artichoke garden.
Raspberries are growing wonderfully.
Corn patch is almost filled in.
This little shaded corner beauty is called the White Garden. All flowers and foliage will be white and greens. I'm adding in some moon flowers to have a wonderful show in the evenings.
How is your garden? Any new To-Do's?
Thanks for your very flattering comment on my blog! I have only just become aware of your blog too, so I have some exploring to do. My first impression is "Wow what a wide variety of different things this person grows!" Also struck by the wide range of "hardware" in your garden. Hope to talk more soon...
