It's time for the planting the garden! This is the next installment. We re-tilled the ground, made rows and planted beans (string, italian, lima, and asparagus beans), carrots, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers (lemon and armenian), corn, spinach, asparagus, peas and zucchini squash. Next week we'll finish up with the celery, pumpkin, canteloupe, watermelon and crookneck squash. That rounds it out. We have, along with the vegetables, a number of fruits - 3 apples, peaches, pears, nectarines, apricots, kiwis, 3 grapes, raspeberries, strawberries, and blueberries. Nothing like fresh produce for real flavor! Maybe we'll get some chickens next year and have our own little mini farm! Anyway, thanks to grandma and grandpa Jackson for helping us out. They're used to that warm Hong Kong weather and so were frozen in our 50 degree weather.
