Gardening

[helen99]

The garden is starting to reflect the weeks of work that have gone into it. Looking back the amount of work is hard to believe. There have been three tillings, putting up deer and electric fencing, sheet mulching and constructing keyhole beds bordered with dead wood, removing rocks and using them to repave the driveway, making paths between beds using sawdust, and planting. The corn is now about a foot tall and other vegetables seem to be prospering. We ate a salad today made from greens harvested from the garden for purposes of thinning between vegetables so the remaining ones would have more room. I took a few pictures.

Some areas are nicely populated with plants, and other areas are pretty bare still. We've sewn buckheat in the bare areas as an edible ground cover.
