Update on Gardens . . .

Hay bale garden is doing wonderful!  Specially since the plants on the front row of bales were rescued from Peter Rabbit and all his friends...  We have already had several fresh bok choy and kale salads this spring.  The strawberries have a taste that is to die for!  Looking forward to fresh cabbage and broccoli later this summer.

Raised bed garden is doing well also...  Planted the three tomato plants in this garden just before the last freeze.  I was sure they were goners, but to my surprise they have recovered and are growing strong now.  The onions and sweet peas should be ready to harvest soon.  Just planted the peppers last week.  They already have blooms peeking out!  Hummm... peppers, onions, and tomatoes... guess I will have to make salsa this summer! 

Happy Gardening and God Bless!

The red, white & blue potatoes are going wild in their growing!!  I'm so excited to see how they turn out later this summer.   I have never had success with potatoes when I planted them directly in the ground.  You can also see some herbs and other plants here in my container garden area.  Due to the rabbits, I put all the containers in an old trough feeder we had on the farm.  So far the rabbits have not been able to reach these plants.  Originally I wanted to use this trough for the planting of greens like spinach, turnips and collards.  With all the other projects going on around the farm, I was not able to get them planted.  Maybe this fall.
