How Our Garden Grows – July 2014

Garden Grows July2014 title

It’s the end of July, which is the typical time our garden really takes off. This year is no different. The plants that started well in May are doing great & many are now being harvested.

THE MAIN GARDEN

OUTSIDE THE GARDEN FENCE

Corn, tomatoes, gourds & pumpkins are growing outside the fence, unprotected from the deer. All seems well so far.

FRUIT TREES

Most of our fruit trees were planted about 5 years ago. They are finally producing a decent amount of fruit. So exciting!

HARVESTING & PRESERVING

Earlier this month I snapped a pic of the bounty harvested that day: 2 types of kale, mint, cilantro, a few peas and a handful of raspberries

Yesterday I picked zucchini, summer squash, lettuce, kale, basil, coriander, & sage. Some is for us & some is for the chickens.

 

It’s a lot of work, but it is so rewarding growing our own produce.
