Our Garden has been blessed

 I was excited to see Wasps hunting in the Cabbages but I am absolutely thrilled to find a baby Praying Mantis this morning. . Below you can see my cabbage worm loved cabbages, Celery success from scrap and the Sunflowers getting ready to bloom. They are atleast four feet tall. And the Corn is blooming too!

  
  

We have had a Romaine harvest this last week as well.

a week later?

A New Year... 2012

We are growing Collards Greens, Onions, Parsnips

Garlic, Beets, Asparagus, Romaine lettuce, Carrots, Sweet peas, Basil, and Bay.

Volunteer celery and Broccoli from compost

A Variety of Flowers and two children's Gardens full of seeds and promise.

That trick with celery works. Find a blank spot in your garden, and the next time you cut off the bottom of you bunch bury it about 1/2 inch in you soil. Try the same with a Broccoli stem and let me know how it works for you.
