A cleaned up vegetable bed
I may just be preparing food for woodchucks, but I was so happy this weekend to get my main vegetable garden bed cleaned up. I'd be too embarrassed to show what it looked like at its worst. But this image is evocative.
Now, I've sown beet, spinach, cress, arugula, turnip, and other greens. And, I put in transplants of lettuces and radicchio, too.
This is a garden that's shady in winter, so it's really just a matter of what might produce in the next couple of months.
I also sowed six large flats with mesclun mix, lettuces, various other greens, etc.
The chives and perennial leeks and onions are doing fine, too.
And I'm anxious to see if my squash, beans, and tomatoes have kept to reasonable sizes and ripeness up in the mountains, too. Ridiculous to juggle two vegetable gardens, but they are productive! And, it's fun.
