The worm farm has arrived!

2014 March 21

The start of the new garden!  We just harvested  most of the last of the winter garden -- arugula and brussels sprouts.  Bill has tilled the upper level west and south and mulched all the assorted stuff piled up on the lowed level.  The Fremont farmers have started seeds in their new greenhouse and I will get on our much delayed starts ASAP.

Birthday!

Our tomatoes minutes before we make marinara!

Dinner

After a month of silence, I finally get a chance to post. Our trip to Alaska was wonderful! Dinner tonight will be strictly garden produce to keep it easy. Thank you Randi for babysitting for us! And thank you Mom, Grandpa, and Alex for a wonderful vacation! And especially thank you to Bill and Wanda for keeping such great care of our Garden!

Zucchini of course

So far I have made zucchini spaghetti, cold curried zucchini soup, braised zukes, onion, & tomato, and zucchini bread. Some other 2800 farmers are not eating their fair share! There are lots of bush beans and tomatoes. The peas are just about over, but the scarlet runners are gorgeous.  We have a bunch of pea-sized little tomatillos, too.

The end of June heat wave

Squash blossoms, pumpkin blossoms, peaseblossoms, scarlet on the scarlet runners!

Time flies when you're pulling weeds!

First all garden grown salad

First strawberry

Bill planted 4 artichokes

With intersticed bushbeans

Someone up the street has planted their veggies all in rows --our approach looks more like a committee design~~~

Lots of peas!

The nutmeg thyme is blooming prettily~~~
