The Beginning...

Finally.  At last.  A blog entry.  

I set this blog up a few weeks ago with the intention of keeping a running record of our garden through the growing season.  Well the garden is growing and I have been taking photos on almost every visit we have made to the garden.  I will quickly post a few pictures from yesterday, and hopefully catch up with some of the best of the last few months to give an idea of how things have progressed so far. 

 The front plot looking across the meadow and the Presumpscot River.

 Globe Thistle and Bee Balm

 Pole Beans and Chard

 Peppers, Basil, and Parsley

 

 Crook Neck yellow squash.

Carrots.  We planted a month ago and the next day was the first of 3 days of rain, 7-8 inches total.  3 weeks later we had 7 carrots growing.  Replanted last weekend and they are growing now.

Garlic and onions.  Onions are always our best crop.  Just plant, weed occasionally, and water.  Last year we harvested 40 pounds that lasted us a good part of the winter.

That's our garden with the Rhubarb in the front corner.

(Thanks to LBM for the inspiration to try blogging.)
