I realized that I haven't posted a single thing about my garden here in
Va. It's not very big and it's back to pots but surprisingly we have had
some pretty good production.
Late winter I started a few veggies inside, ordered some pots that would
fit on my porch and then counted down the days to spring. I love a
variety, so I ended up planting a good mix of flowers, herbs, veggies
and fruits. So far the squirrels have beaten us to every strawberry but
we have beaten them to a few of the raspberries. The blueberry bush did
not produce this year but it is very small, so maybe next year. The
peppers have taken off with the jalapeño being the clear winner, and the
tomatoes are finally starting to ripen. The potatoes seem to be doing
great and the squashes are starting to bloom. In the front yard, the
carrots, onions and leaks are starting to make a show but I think those
strawberries aren't going to produce. Back on the back deck, all the
herbs are doing great except that not a single rosemary plant survived, I
have no idea why!
The best thing looming on the porch? My beautiful boys :)
Water and sand is a big hit with both :)
I am so excited, my canning equipment just came in this week. I made my first batch of jam and pickled some of those jalapenos!
