The garden is growing like crazy! This year we planted.....are you ready for this.....3 varieties of tomatoes, cucumbers, artichokes, spring mix, green leaf lettuce, green beans, sweet peas, corn, squash, zucchini, pumpkins, green and yellow bell peppers, jalapenos, green onions, and walla walla sweet onions. Wow - that is a whole lot of stuff!
Matt has asked why we planted so much but I remind him that I plan to can salsa and spaghetti sauce along with grinding and freezing veggies for the new baby. He is pretty proud that I am tackling so many projects.
We planted late this year due to the cool weather so now that it is mid July only the lettuce is ready but we are hopeful that many of the other veggies will be following along shortly. There is plenty blooming so it shouldn't be too long.
The "girls" are also doing very well. Alfredo, BBQ, Teriyaki, and Dijon should start laying in about another month and then we will have wonderful fresh eggs! We have 2 brown egg layers and 2 speckled/Easter egg layers so it will be lots of fun to get eggs each day with Griffen.
Matt has stated that he would like to add a sheep or goat to our mini farm but I don't think that will be happening in the near future. :)
