Well, our garden is almost completely planted. Our garden was inspired by ones we saw when visiting Old Sturbridge Village in Massachussetts. We planted small beds of various plants with walkways between them, so we do not have to walk on plants to tend to them and we can focus on one bed at a time, so the large garden does not become overwhelming when time to weed. We have planted two types of zucchini, yellow summer squash, dumpling squash, cucumbers, tomatoes (3 types), radishes, spinach, many types of lettuce, rhubarb, various herbs (medicinal, tea and cooking), asperagus, red potatoes, pumpkins (large and sugar), strawberries, green bush beans, yellow bush beans, green vine beans, peas, lots and lots of carrots (3 kinds)....that may be it.
We also are putting more attention to our fruit trees and bushes. Our 6 blueberry bushes are abundant with baby fruit. Our grape arbor is over loaded with grapes and has extended across the clothesline (I'll need to put up a new line somewhere else). Our three apples trees are full of little apples (we have red delicious, macantosh and I think golden delicious) so we can be busy making applesauce this fall. Our raspberry bushes (we have red, black and pricker-free red) are overtaking everything, but full of fruit.
It has been a lot of hard work, but we hope to have a plentiful harvest to enjoy this summer, share with family and friends, and freeze and can for winter enjoyment.
