Veggie Garden Expansion!! (Phase 1)

Today I put the perimeter fence around my larger veggie garden! It doubled it in size. I still have the wrought iron black fence, and rabbit fencing inside. I was short about 5 feet of rabbit fence so I put up some extra lattice I had to block that corner. The rest was cake! I […]

Strawberry Patch Maintenance

Indoor Garden Carrot Harvest

I have to make room to start my seeds indoors, so I have decided to harvest my carrots. These carrots were started on September 1st 2010! I can’t believe it’s been that long. That’s about 200 days. That is a very long time to not have full grown carrots at harvest time. These carrots got […]

Indoor Garden Request by my Daughter Madison

My daughter Maddie suggested that we can use the indoor garden to propagate the strawberry patch!!!!!!!! What a genius idea!
