In the Homestead Garden ~ May 2020
Another year of gardening has begun! Well, I guess it has been going for a while, this is just the first chance I’ve had to write about it and share a garden photo tour.
What a crazy year this has been so far! Let me start by first saying that I feel so very lucky and grateful that we have our large yard/small property to work on during this time of self-isolation. I have been off work since March and been blessed to not get sick, so consequently I have been working a ton in our garden. This is the first year since we moved here 7 years ago that we’ve had the whole garden space utilized! Crazy right?!?!
If you would like to see our garden the first couple of years when it was first being built you can check out those garden tours HERE and HERE(this is on my old blog 🙂
Corn, beans and cucumbers celery, leeks, cabbage beets, shallots, lettuce, spinach Peas and carrots 🙂
Raised Bed #1 Raised Bed #2 Raised Bed #3
Above, we have the raised beds on the far side of the garden which, starting with #1 on the left, are planted with strawberries, spinach and squash. Raised bed #2 has walla walla onions, head lettuce, pac choi, leaf lettuce, and kohlrabi.
There are interplantings of the onions between each row of lettuce etc. this is in line with companion planting suggestions. And bed #3 is full of broccoli interplanted with more onions and some beets.
