Today was a lovely day! I spent most of it in the garden. I planted the leeks,lettuce, spinach, swiss chard,re-planted beans that the slugs and birds ate. Now I have netting over them and Sluggo down for the slugs so that shouldn't happent again fertilized everything with blood-meal and fish fertilizer.Everything is going to grow like crazy now and the only planting left for now are tomatoes and bell peppers. They don't really grow here that well because it doesn't get hot enough but Dan is going to build me a cold frame out of some old windows we have stashed, I can't wait!
The garden needs to be about 3 times this size if we are going to grow year round.
We also have our Indian Runner Ducklings, 2 black and 2 blue, I believe.
Here are a few more pictures of the garden. :)
Do you have a yard at all? You can start in pots or in one raised bed. Just grow what you know you will eat like salad fixings and maybe a few herbs. It is very rewarding to grow your own food, and much healthier too!
