Spring 2010 Veggie Garden


Our spring garden got a late start this year but we put so much TLC into planting the seeds, I'm sure we will be fine. First, we charted out where all the seeds should go in our square foot garden. 3 feet by twelve feet equals 36 squares of veggie goodness.


After clearing out the weeds and adding some fresh soil, we were ready to plant. Here is Lillie and Sadie studying our master plan.


Lillie helped punch in some holes. Here she is planting some golden beet seeds.


Sadie carefully dropped the Purple Haze carrot seeds into each hole.


The sun is setting over the marsh and we are worn out. We planted some funky romanesco cauliflower, purple haze carrots, atomic red carrots, watermelon radishes, German beer radishes, beefsteak tomatoes, baby bok choy, golden beets, shallots, ginger, mesclun greens, leeks, cornichon cucumbers, lemongrass, watermelon, zucchini, peppercorn and sugar snap peas plus some assorted herbs. The next few months should be filled with some gardening fun and hopefully some amazing fresh veggies. To be continued...
