We have finally finished planting in the garden we're sharing with friends Beth and Cody in their backyard. It's taken the better part of a week to get all of the starters in the ground. From start to finish, it's taken about 3 weeks to weed, dig up, turn, add nutrients, cover and plant this monstrosity. We approximated the space we're using to be over 400 sf., which is larger than some previous apartments I've had! The bounty you see includes yellow and white corn, green beans, broccoli, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, tomatillos, basal, cilantro, dill, parsley, chives, garlic, spinach, green and red lettuce, sweet peppers, banana peppers, jalapenos, hot Hungarian hot wax peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, asparagus, raspberries, and strawberries! We are looking forward to some fun summer veggies and lots of salsa fixings to process and can this fall.
As you can see, Madeleine enjoyed helping me throughout the process. Usually she ended up eating and throwing dirt more than anything else but I'm glad she at least isn't afraid of getting dirty.
