Planting the Garden

 These pictures are about 4 weeks old, but I felt I had to get them posted, so we can have a record of our progress.

The view of the garden area, it is a 100×70 foot plot.
I thought it would be enough
we will be adding more next year
(shhh, don’t tell Dadzoo, he doesn’t know yet) IMG_4030

Another view of the garden.
Under the little hoop house are onions, they have been in there since the first of April and are thriving. IMG_4031

Little Man “owns” the pumpkins this year, and he got to help me plant them.
He is going to make a great little farmer and a wonderful pumpkin grower.
(we are planning on having a lot, and hopefully will be able to sell some for his piggy bank) IMG_4032 IMG_4033 IMG_4035

The pumpkin patch with little paper hats to keep the critters (quail especially) from eating the seeds before they sprout. IMG_4036
Sassy “owns” the cucumbers, and here is her “pickle patch”.
We planted two hills of eating cucumbers, and the rest are for pickling.
Sassy and I are going to make lots and lots of pickles this fall, it will be a first time for us both and we’re excited for the challenge. IMG_4037And one corner of the garden has three goose-berry bushes.
Someday I am going to make goose-berry pie,
doesn’t that sound all old-timey and romantic. IMG_4038

 I tend to be a bit of a romantic
in case you haden’t noticed!
