Not only did we have to build the raised beds but we had to get cracking with starting plants too!
 |
Layering soil, manure, seaweed, etc and cover with mulch before planting.
 |
We ordered most of our seeds from West Coast Seeds and some small back up packages from Amazon.ca.
Every windowsill in the house was holding pots of seedlings. We started garlic and onions from plants too.
Now we're getting produce! Lettuce since the end of May and still coming. Kale, chard, spinach, carrots, parsnips, garlic, onions, tomatoes, raspberries, strawberries, acorn squash, spaghetti squash, cucumbers, peas, beans and zuccinni. Think that's everything. What a joy it is to sit outside now, surrounded by flowering plants, bees, butterflies and peace.

| Our very first salad greens |
 |
Preping kale chips to bake in the oven. Turned out great!
|
 |
Keeping the greens picked is almost a full time job.
|
We expect to be harvesting young peas, cucumbers, lettuce and zucchini in the next couple of days. Life is good!
