Howdy Yall!
So, here's all that's been going on in our garden and our projects that have to do with the garden(so far).
We are building hoop houses over our raised beds. In this one there is only 3 beds but we are also growing in Smart Pots and Gro Pots thus we have alot of pots in the place of where a 3rd bed would of been. Smart Pots and Gro Pots are made of a breathable fabric. They make it so that it aerates and there is air flow. And if you decide to plant your transplants for good in the ground or in a raised bed they allow the roots to grow through the pot. I recommend looking them up online. We are pretty happy with them
These are older pics from a couple months ago I think. I just never uploaded them till now. Everything in these photos were much smaller but they are thriving and have grown quite a bit. I will Lord-willing, update with newer photos here and there.
This picture below is actually one I took today of the biggest turnip that Pa harvested today. The other's of the turnips and the one beet were taken today.
Spearmint-That thing has taken over the bed that I was gonna use for herbs. Last year I had planted blue balsam mint and peppermint next to the spearmint not realizing that in doing so that they would cross....that means that the blue balsam mint is no longer sweeter or stronger tasting than the peppermint. Spearmint is stronger than the both so they ended up tasting sort of like the spearmint! The mints have really grown especially the spearmint.
Salad blend- you should see it now they are really growing. In fact, I harvested some for a salad today for our lunch.
