Better late than never

So it has been 6 months since our garden was put in and this blog was a crazy idea for which I would have no time.....and I'm playing catch-up today.

October 2009
The Wijesuriya team pitched in to set up the garden after Farmer Bobby stirred up the soil with a monster tiller and brought in magic dirt and seeds.




A couple of weekends and the structure was ready!






Adios brown splotchy lawn, hello home grown veggies and herbs.






In three days the squash seeds sprouted...







They were an inch tall in a week...







February 2010
We now have a bed of strawberries, collard greens up the wazoo, and all sorts of things sprouting willy nilly in the veggie bed.

The chili pepper seeds did not make it - perhaps it was too cold in January. So I decided to plant some indoors first, along with green beans....I now understand why gardeners go the seed route....one little packet and we had about 20 seedlings in a week!!

I'm not patient enough to be a die-hard seeder, though.
