Garden Photos: May 27th

My plants are really shooting up now! All of the seeds I planted have shown themselves (although the herbs in the middle bed are barely visible). Last week I got seedlings from a local farm. I bought a variety of peppers which got planted amongst the onions, and I bought sweet tomatoes which I planted in the broccoli raab bed, and regular tomatoes which I put with the collards. I will probably have to thin the collards out some once they start to get bigger to further accommodate the tomato plants.




pepper plants in the foreground, broccoli raab is in the background on the left, and lettuce and mesclun on the right.

At this point all of the work is complete. All of the paths are covered with cardboard and wood chips. All seeds are planted (collard greens had to be replanted) and things are really starting to grow!

These first photos were taken after most of the setup was already complete. I had already turned and tilled the soil, created the beds, mixed manure into the top soil, planted my seeds, and laid cardboard and wood chips on some of my paths.
