It’s been a while since I last updated but boy has the garden grown!
Here are a few shots I took this last week:
I also dug up 2 of the raised bed frames and made one large bed that I sectioned into 4 with pallets. I planted buttercup squash, carving pumpkin, pie pumpkins and cucumbers in this area. I really like it! What do you think?
I have already picked close to 100 lbs of produce so far this year. My goal is 1000 lbs so I am definitely on track, especially with potatoes and pumpkins and tomatoes coming on.
How is your garden growing? Are you keeping track of the weight of your harvests?
Welcome to my Blog! My world is my husband and son (soon to be moving into his own home) and my step-children (fully grown) and our two cats who are definitely ying and yang. My day job is as Deputy Clerk of my home town in Western, NY but when I get home I have two side gigs, one as a professional private baker, and two, as an Etsy shop owner selling vintage and antique dishes and accessories. I have been gardening and growing my own food since my grandfather taught me at the ripe old age of 5. I stitch, I bake, I grow food, I can and preserve, I grocery shop to save money and eat well and boy do I have massive to-do lists. I hope you enjoy my day to day writings.

That looks simply amazing! Your vine retreat area is a great solution to those crazy things, lots of climbing opportunities for them. I am jealous of your cherries, how do you keep them safe from the birds? I have just begun to pick beets and of course lettuce. I have gotten one meal’s worth of peas, which is actually a huge improvement from most years, but that’s pretty much it so far. Parsnips soon, I hope.
