We are tripling the size of our garden this year. Last year's garden is fenced, and we need to re-work the fence to enclose the new area. If we don't, the wild rabbits will have a feast - and we won't! The kids each want their own garden too, so we will divide up the new plot before we plant. Since it is fresh soil, we should have a really productive year.
Danny helped plant. So far, we have planted carrots and beets, as they are cooler weather crops. We also re-planted pea-pods as they didn't come up well, and I think some of them got accidently tilled.
I planted lettuce and spinach a few weeks ago. They are up, but not enough to harvest yet. I'm guessing we'll get our first harvest in about two weeks.
Michael loves the garden weasel! I just have to keep an eye on where he is so he doesn't weasel the newly planted rows.
Danny's job is to cover the tiny carrot and beet seeds after Momma sows them. He'll be in charge of planting the bigger pea and bean seeds.
And, here I sit still waiting for the leaves on the trees ☺ The boys are getting so big! Won't be long and Danny will be asking for the keys to the car!
