With summer rapidly approaching and the weather warming I thought I’d give you an update on our local community garden (if you missed our first post on this you can read it HERE). I’ve been seeing a lot of photos on Facebook and Instagram showing what folks in the Northwest are pulling out of their gardens and I’m a bit jealous. Our spring here in the Midwest was delayed due to the deep freeze we received over the winter. I’m eager to see more coming out of our gardens soon. For now let’s take a look at what’s growing right now…
Tomato and basil plants… a match made in heaven!
Lettuce
Swiss Chard
Tomatoes and basil went in first with lettuce and Swiss chard not far behind. They are doing well.
Creative use of “found things” for our beans.
The crew set up a new raised bed complete with beanpoles for beans with more beans along one of the fence lines.
Young pumpkin plants under the screen, Mother’s Day marigolds in hand painted pots.
We contributed a few of our pumpkin plants and they are hanging out happily under the screens to keep them safe from critters until they get bigger.
Raspberries
The raspberries are loving the sunshine. Hopefully we will see some fruit soon.
