The garden is coming along nicely. As we go along, certain things become easier to work out. We've even had a few meals with food picked from the garden which was a blast.
Here's a little garden update.
It looks like the apples are doing well. The moth traps seem to be working so far. I think we should get a few more to make sure they don't ravage our crop again this year.
The plums are ALL OVER the place. There will be enough to make some jam, have for snacks and pass out among friends.
The strawberries came back. Now we just need to keep the strawberry thief away.
For a little color, we have a gift from our neighbor. It's rather nice, actually. She was chopping some down in her front yard and just passed us the clippings. I popped 'em in the pot and they took off.
The tomatoes are grand. We just need to keep 'em watered and they see to be happy.
The sweet potato I planted sprouted out and looks really interesting. The leaves are green with purple trim. I can't wait to see if the potato will sprout other tomatoes.
We found out that we didn't plant the onions deep enough to give us onions proper, but we have chives. :)
And the best part is having a place the kids can play and learn about nature. They have a great time playing out there and seeing the stuff grow. And, the best part about that is being able to EAT the project as they do it! :)
AND BEES!
