And then there were... New raised beds!


Finally! The weather has been very uncooperative but we have the two raised beds/cold frames built and in place. They have chicken wire tops to keep the stray cats and birds out and, when needed, we can add plastic covers for the tender plants.

Bed #1, has rutabagas, turnips and garlic planted so far. When the weather warms a bit more, the pepper plants will be planted.

Bed #2, has 3 varieties of carrots and beets. Planning to add garlic to this bed as well as a companion to the root crops and to the tomatoes that will be added later.

Garlic reseeds in the walkway every year, so handy when you need some fresh garlic leaves for cooking! It's the tall grassy looking plant in front of bed #1
