I can’t believe how quickly the garden turned from this to this!!

What a satisfying feeling, knowing that we’ve worked so hard to keep the bunnies and weeds out of this 12×12 square of ground.  Being self-employed and over-worked, it’s been a bit of a struggle to find the time (or even be at home during daylight hours) in order to keep track of this thing, but it’s been done.  Mainly, I’ve been weeding and nurturing on the weekends and everyone has lent a hand collecting compost form both work and home.

I’m very proud of this product!  The corn is lovely and tall with tassels.  The spring onions are plentiful and the lettuce is quite green.  The cucumbers seem to be taking over the place from the far right corner and I have to keep nudging it back to make sure it doesn’t choke the leafy lettuce.  The carrots this year (which were the star of the show last year) are a bit of a disappointment but I think that has to do with the volunteer corn taking over it’s place in the garden.

We have already had a chance to eat some of our garden goodies in a salad last weekend and although I don’t think everything is quite ready, I’m sure that if we don’t start eating now, we’ll never get through everything in time.
