A Visit to the Lasagna Garden

It has been quite a while since I have taken you down to the vegetable garden, so how about coming along to check it out with me?

First stop will be at the artichoke. It was a tough decision to make, but I decided to let the plant bloom this year rather than harvest the vegetables. This is what it looks like today…

Now let’s take a look at the corn.

Turning around to the next area, the tomatoes seem to be doing really well. I bought a package of heirloom tomatoes that were a mixture so this will be the surprise tomato patch until the fruit develops! I hope that we get some good varieties!

Now over here are the onions, radishes and carrots. The carrot seeds have finally sprouted!

And so have the radishes.

Now over here are the green beans. They are starting to climb and are making their way to the chicken wire fencing!

Close by are the peas. I have baby peas!

The zucchini, acorn squash and Tuscan melons are doing well. All are forming blossoms.

Next, lets stroll over to the potato pots. The plants are doing really well, and guess what? The plants are blooming! This means that the potatoes are forming!

Finally, looking at the raspberries, the yellows are still developing, but the reds are starting to turn color!

Christine – can you just taste those raspberry coladas? Check back later for another update. As we head into summer, the garden will start growing at a much quicker pace!
