Garden - 1st month

Garden all tilled and ready for planting

It seems as if updating this blog is getting harder and harder each day since this is such our busy time of year.  So I'm going to try not to do weekly updates anymore, especially on the garden.

So this will be my first update on our 2012 garden.  Hopefully I will do this monthly unless I get lots at harvest time and then I will post pictures of all the veggies.

This year we were a little late with planting the garden as our tiller wasn't working very well. So we needed to wait to get that fixed and then finally get the planting done.  We were able to get everything planted by May 1st.

We have planted this year:

Sweet Corn

Cucumbers

Pickling Cucumbers

Summer Squash

Zucchini

Watermelon

Green Beans

6 types of Lettuce
