Mary, Mary, quite contrary...

Week two of the gardening bonanza, woot woot. Since last week everything has exploded. The broccoli, peas, and beans have already been taken out of the little greenhouse because they were lifting the top off of it.

By the way, we are growing: tomatoes(cherry and regular), broccoli, peas, beans, muskmelon(have not sprouted yet), onions, basil(has been growing for about a month), cucumbers, banana peppers(have not sprouted yet), green peppers(have not sprouted yet), squash, and I think that's it.

The 7' x 12' garden area has been tilled, and I mixed organic compost(cow poop) into the soil. Today I'm going to till it again with organic compost and organic fertilizer, to ready it for our broccoli, peas, and onions.

Soil prepped and ready

I need one of these

As soon as I can get my hands on one of these I will be buying one for Brittany...She thinks "he's hot," and "he can wear a suit well." WOW!. I think this will be the perfect gift.

Cha, Cha, Cha, CHIA !!!

In our efforts to be organic and green, we (Jordan, Brittany, John David, and myself) are going to try to have an organic vegetable garden in this year of two thousand and eight. With any luck we'll have a yield great enough for all of our vegetable needs, and do it completely organically with no chemical fertilizers or pesticides starting from scratch with seeds.

I am going to update our progress weekly...

(For immigration purposes, and should our plants suffer a terrible death, we can not disclose the identity of our seed planters. Planting done Thursday, March 13)

As of Tuesday, March 18 we have progress...
