Garden Stuff

The garden is thriving, the chickens are huge, my food preps are sitting there, and its looking like its going to be a good summer.

Guest Post and Garden Stuff

Today I bought a 7 gallon water container, a hoe, and 4 cans of soup. We now have 9 tomato plants in the ground. There are eight bean plants, seven pumpkins, and seven cucumbers. We have a bunch of peas, squash, cantaloupe, jalepeno peppers and to many onions to count. I also made another guest post over at SurvivalCache reviewing the Back To Basics book I purchased a little while ago, you can see the review here.

Potatoes

Ok, I must have done something wrong when I planted the potatoes. It had been almost two weeks and they hadn't started to come up so I dug up one of the potatoes and it hadn't even started to sprout. Other plants are doing well though.

Plants Update

Plants are perking up a bit. have a big pad of sprouts coming up in the raised beds. Onions must love this soil, they are in their element.

Campout and more potatoes

Went camping with boy scouts yesterday. Got to practice a lot of fire building, and dutch oven cooking skills. We ended up cutting the campout short due to the high winds,(broke a couple tent poles). Any way, I got a bunch of left over Russet Potatoes and threw those in the ground today.
Aren't weekends fun?

More Plants

We broke up the ground in our front flower beds today. Holy cow is that ground full of worms! Decided to plant some veggies out front. Planted lots of onions and some Yukon Gold potatoes. Planted a strawberry plant also. The plants in back really aren't doing well so we threw the remaining seeds in with the dying plants.

Plants Update

Apparently not past the frost! Plants not doing well.

Raised Garden Beds

We, (we being my family) built a a raised garden bed this afternoon. A few weeks ago we started a lot of plants inside the house. So this morning we planted pole beans, tomatoes, onions, pumpkins, cucumbers, and carrots. We should be past the frost, so I hope they do well.
