Garden Progress

The garden was full of weeds when we got back from vacation. So we have been getting up early and weeding and in the evening.
The back garden has tomatoes, garlic, sweet peppers, Bush beans, cucumbers, butter beans, edamame, corn, pole beans and pumpkins.





The raised bed by the chicken run has beets, sugar snap peas, onions, moon and stars watermelon, snow peas, and cantelope




The six raised beds in the chicken run has spaghetti squash, zucchini, yellow squash, lima beans and black beans. some of the beans never came up so George planted cherry tomatoes in these beds

The tractor tire has carrots. The raised back bed has pole beans, sugar baby watermelon and some cherry tomatoes

Long bed in the run has habanero, cayenne, jalapeno peppers.
This is the herb bed next to the greenhouse
tubs with potatoes on the patio
Next to the patio we have blueberry bushes
We still have a lot of weeding and mulching to do but it is getting there slowly

Greenhouse

We had an old shed that the side wood was rotting but the bones were still good. So we decided to make it into a greenhouse. The shed is 10x16.

We removed the roof and put up Polycarbonate panels.
Here is the in progress project.
We got the doors and siding at Habitat for Humanity Restore
