| Japanese Climbing Cucumbers!!!! |
As you can see, spring has sprung around these parts! Everything we planted is blooming or sprouting or growing and some things we weren't even expecting(japanese climbing cucumbers!!!!) . The plants are all looking wonderful and I can't help but think that a mild winter actually helped us out quite a bit!
Tomorrow we will actually do our first spring plantings outside and a new year of gardening begins.
We hope you join us as we explore our edible lawn!
PS...did ya see how the winter grains have grown?!?!?! Looking good!!! :)

We finished off the growing season just last week with our first freeze and up until then we had tomatoes and tomatillas still sprouting! That's what happens around these parts when you plant late...you keep getting crops!
In the meantime we have composted all of the vegetation and replanted for winter/spring crops that will help replenish the things that were depleted over the summer. we also planted a ton of bulbs around the front yard, I kinda went a bit crazy! And then....I decided we needed fruit too.
Lots of fruit....sooooo...we now have two apple trees, two grape vines, two blackberry bushes, three strawberry bushes, four raspberry bushes and six blueberry bushes...plus the mulberry bushes that are scattered all over the yard......:D:D:D

Only one teeny tiny minor drawback..it is also 13 year cicada cycle....makes your ears almost bleed withe the din outside.....sigh....luckily they do not eat little sprouts! YAY!
