So our garden is finally planted. I'd say it wasn't too much work, but Wade did a lot of it since I am still on light duty. He dug the holes and I filled them in, pretty good team work. Here is what we planted: Peas, Onions, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Carrots, Spinach, Lettuce, Green Peppers, Jalapenos, cantaloupe, and watermelon. The cantaloupe and water melon were sorta thrown in at the end as we had a bunch of extra space that I didn't plan on. If even half of this stuff comes up, I will be surprised and happy! Here is what it looks like at the moment. And just a note, we were at the beginnings of a massive weed problem as there was all kinds of junk in this bed last year, that's why you see the black paper and mulch - we're hoping that helps. As a bonus, one of the books I read said that that also helps keep the soil warmer which is great for a lot of the plants. Keira didn't help much planting as she was distracted by her swingset, but she LOVES to water - so that should help keep her busy this summer.
Here are the Tomatoes and Green Peppers; we bought these as plants. The watermelon and cantaloupe are to the right.
There are 4 rows here: Onions, Spinach, Carrots, and Lettuce. These were all planted as seeds and are all starting to sprout!
These are peas and cucumbers that we started inside. Behind the trellis are the jalapenos. Wade plans to make some salsa!
