Been busy around here. Had an awesome flood of sewage in our basement, which the City of Tac is reimbursing me for (whew). Here’s the start of our gardening projects:
Front porch herb garden. Rosemary up top, with cilantro and dill down one step. The other two planters are for whatever we bring home next time. The Rosemary is growing crazy fast.
Strawberries in the front yard. All are blooming, but the pic is all washed out. This is why I serve beer and am not a design dood with mad photoshop skills.
Well look how hippie-dippie we are! Made this out of fence-posts and wood that was left when we bought the house. The posts were actually still in the ground with no fence. I bought the cedar board on top for a buck, and a can of paint. Everything else was found here. Works like a charm.
The raised bed. This was a carport, now a “parking area”. We built a wall with concrete blocks, tilled up the inside, and filled it in. 26 feet long, 3 feet wide, and about 20 inches thick of fresh mushroom/chicken manure/soil mix to fill it. The tomato and squash starts are acclimating in the garage for transplanting. The blocks were put in so the “holes” will be small planters as well. This is 3 feet off the ground so I can work it without bitching about my gimp back hurting. Damn we crafty…
Red oak leaf lettuce is going off like crazy! Daisy in the middle is doing grand.
Cabbages, chives, and a ton of onions all at different depths just to see what happens. Daisy in the middle is NOT doing grand.
Apple trees and beans on the way. Might be doing a parking strip garden as well with cherry toms. We are so urban it hurts!!!
