First harvests and long time no update
Been too long since a new post, too busy with life. Thats ok, though. The garden is ramping up as things have dried out a bit. The outdoor beds are coming online this month, and the tomatoes are just getting their first tiny blossoms. Below are the outdoor beds after spreading compost and doing a shallow till. After they were tarped off for stale seed bedding. Hopefully I won’t have the same weed issues with this plot.
On the left along the tunnel there is a big wet area with a very thick blob of clay soil. Where the beds are its a little sandier. Its continously a mudhole. Later in the summer I’ll have a proper ditch dug along it.
In the tunnel, tomatoes and drip irrigation went in. Its a mess in parts. In retrospect, about twice as much compost was needed. Everything will be ok, though.
And the farmstand…
I have lettuce and carrots that need to come out. Tomorrow I will put some out in a small cooler/stand in the front yard and see what happens. Even got a small sign made and everything. Slow and steady wins the race, for sure.
And finally, the winter mix I put along the road is full of nice vetch flowers and looks really lush at the moment.
