The Sturgeon River waters have finally receded enough for us to cultivate and plant our gardens. It was definitely a late start for the season, however we and our seedlings have waited patiently.
We are primarily vegetarian and we rely on our garden. During the summer months we only eat our garden food (and fish we catch) and we are able to grow enough to extend into winter. We are still enjoying last years tomatoes and beans. Our goal is to grow even more this year.
We have bush beans, climbing beans, peas and lentils. We are growing onions, carrots, Kohlrabi, turnips and brussel sprouts. We have a large variety of leafy greens. We have about 40 tomato plants to go into our redesigned tomato garden. We are growing squash as well. This year we went nuts on beets. The beets were a huge success last year and we wished we had grown a ton more...so we are. We still have an unplanted garden and I think I will throw in some radishes, parsley, basil and leftover seedlings. We also need to add marigolds. Each garden should have one...they are beautiful AND delicious!
This year we are trying out our HugelKulture, and compost growing. We are also experimenting with straw bale planting. We also added a bunch of straw mulch to our garden. We abandoned the container gardening this year and are planting directly to soil and mulching.
The garden is wonderful, ever changing palace, I mean place...its paradis. I hope, trust and pray for us all to have excellent gardens this year. May you get your hands and knees dirty, may you have a bountiful harvest and may you enjoy the richness of your efforts.
