Just a series of cell phone photos today.

We made a sifter from mesh and 2×4s. It works great!

Finished the 2nd part of the 8×12′ veggie bed. There is just one vertical portion left that I will work on throughout the week and we’ll finish it by next weekend, just in time to plant corn.

I transplanted the romaine and spinach from the front yard (where it wasn’t doing well at all) and also planted a celery here. There is more celery growing from seed in my study, but it’s too young to plant yet.

Carl mowed the lawn for the first time. Then we took our socks off and had a beer.

Beet seedlings and carrots (from seed).

Strawberries and greens. This raised bed will also house the rest of the celery (when it’s ready), and the herbs: 2 types of basil, cilantro, borage, and parsley.

The first of the squashes are out. I’m also going to plant potatoes around this area and some acorn squash (which isn’t quite ready yet).

Side view of the new veggie garden. I had to put up string to deter Ronan from running through the beds.

Purple mustard greens are thriving in the front, so I left them alone.

Peas, sweet peas, and newly sown peas around the chimney. In a few weeks, I’ll have a huge cluster of peas coming up. When I was a kid, we grew them by the bucketful, and I can’t wait to just walk out and grab them off the vine. For the record, both sides of the chimney have 2 rows of pea seeds just planted.
