Rich Compost, Rich Soil

3:44 PM












Today, we got another batch of compost for the garden.  This batch seems to be rich in soil minerals, rocks, wood....and, well..worms:)  Those are all things (minus some of the rocks, and large pieces of wood) that are great fertilizer for our veggies to grow in.  We're taking one row & one section at a time and in just a few months, all of this hard work is sure to pay off.

  Have a Happy Memorial Day Everyone!

Glorious Carrots!

10:30 PM

Here's a picture of our fresh picked orange and purple carrots.  These are not baby carrots but there are a bit small, but that's only because we picked them early.  I guess that you could say that we just had to peak.  Aren't they beauties?

them in just a couple of weeks ago (sorry, don't have a picture of that :(
Take my word for it, they've come a long way, thus far.

It's that time again!  We're breaking out the seed packets and figuring out exactly what we're going to plant this year.

Our Watermelons Made a Comeback!

5:26 PM
After a brutually warm summer (most people I know's garden didn't do well, just because the heat was so bad).  Well, now we've had a reprieve...a bit.  We've had some cooler weather and some rain & here we go.  Our watermelons have made a remarkable comeback!  Take a look at this watermelon, just picked from the garden :-)

Pictured Here: Our Golden "Glow" Watermelons.  They're Huge!
