We finally finished the garden the other day....planted asparagus in the right back section. The asparagus will take about two years to mature- so we wont be able to reap the benefits till then! We had to dig a six inch hole and place the asparagus roots around a small mound of dirt and then cover it with soil. It has been raining almost everyday this week! Hopefully it won't get root rot! The soil was so rocky and hard when I tried to dig 6 inch holes that we had to go get some top soil in addition to the mushroom dirt we previously got!
We also planted five tomato plants, two paste plants, one beefsteak, and two late bloomers. Five pepper plants were also planted, three regular bell pepper plants and two different hot pepper plants. Following that lettuce, spinach, scallions, beans, cucumbers, and zuchinnis were planted. I used the mound of dirt style for my cucumbers and zuchinni seeds. We bought organic seeds this year.
I also rototilled a separate section next to the lake to plant corn. I planted 6 rows of corn 3 inches apart. Corn needs to self pollunate so you usually need at least 3-4 rows. I have also planted many herbs in pots in order to keep naimals from feasting on them!
And its still raining outside today....
A fish caught in our pond......not nearly as big as the one he caught yesterday!!!
Wildflowers are bloomming. Mighty is looking for bunnies.
Mighty loves swimming in the lake!
