Garden Update August 2018

Well another month passes and we are starting the harvest season in the garden.
The first harvest is pictured for the first of August.

 The potatoes and rhubarb are coming along and the bush beans have taken off like rockets.
Beets and radish second harvest have just been started and this week I'm going to try to wrangle rose propagation.
Have a wonderful August
Oh yes the hot house is coming along nice in the rebuild.



WE also bought a 20 dollars grafted plum tree.

Garden update 2018 july Greenhouse

Revamping the old greenhouse to have a real base and walls not falling over.
So hubby has also started on the new greenhouse July 2018
Sort of 3 sides are level and on the ground. It's a good start.


Back box garden update July 2018

These are the other boxes all the same size except the front 3 .
The little boxes are for aspargrass ,horseradish and strawberries.
The rocks are set part way up and then i need to finish the borders in stones.
Well my hubby does. I water weed ,feed and harvest.
He does the rest and has thrown his back out again.
So besides being 100 degrees he needs to rest for a few weeks.
This yard will take a few years to do between the two of us.
So here's the other boxes.
Lemon cucumbers and a ghost pepper in the one box and red Pontiac potatoes in the other.




Still another 40 feet to go but I will have fresh vegies this year and tons to share
