Our Garden

Here are some recent pictures of our garden. Our first thing to get out of it has been radishes, which niether Brandon or I like. Not too sure why we planted them, but they are super easy and fast to grow! We have corn, squash, zuchinni, cucumbers, carrots, bannana peppers, bell peppers, peas, pole beans, canteloupe, artichoke, jalepeno, and four kinds of tomatoes. It was supposed to start out as a small garden, but anyone who knows Brandon knows he doesn't do anything "little" so we ended up with a 20 x 40 garden. It was quite the project to till, fence to keep the deer out, fertilize and plant. We grew most everything from seed in little pots inside or directly planted into the ground. We are hoping to have lots of vegetables and fruits soon! We also have some great blueberry bushes that should be ready next week.

Everything is doing great so far, excpet we have powdery mildew on our squash which we are trying to get to go away, but they are still growing great. Niether one of us have ever had a garden before so guess we will learn by trial and error. Brandon's name for our garden is little parm farm. He said he was going to put a sign up over the gate that says this and I said no way! :)
