Gardening

We are renting a house and Saria really wanted a garden. We had talked about doing a raised bed or potting the plants in a lot of pots.

I then found out that my work has a community garden, so I got a plot and convinced my coworker to sign up for one as well.

Yesterday, we spent the morning planting our plot, went home and took a nap, and then spent the afternoon planting my coworker's plot. It all got planted! We have lots of tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, eggplant, cucumbers, broccoli.

Back at our home, Saria has planted pole beans, more cucumbers and tomatoes, fennel, and strawberries (that are already producing).

Saria planted most of it while I entertained Rhett with digging holes and going to a close pile of mulch, shoveling out into a wheelbarrow, taking it to the plot, dumping it out on top of Rhett, and then mulching around the plants.

Saria commented that this is the prettiest garden she has ever had.

It is currently raining, so we should have some happy plants! Here's hoping for a bumper crop. We are rationing our canned salsa and pickles until we get more to can. While in Las Vegas we used a lot of our canned produce.
