Due to social commitments and some lousy weather the past few weekends, we just got to planting seedlings this weekend.To the left is my husband posing in his AWESOME post-yoga gardening outfit. I'm just glad nobody saw what I was wearing - my riding breeches, floral blouse and crazy blue sun hat!
It is a little late, but hopefully our mild Southern California weather will trick these guys into blossoming.
Here's what we've got:
San Marzano & Heirloom Tomatoes
Carrots
Green Beans
Pumpkins (2 kinds, can't remember what they are)
Cucumbers
Watermelon
Kale
...and a few other items!
Most of the seeds are from Seeds of Change, which sells 100% organic seeds.
Now that the chickens are securely caged and their wings have been clipped we should be able to keep the garden going year round. We are going to have to move a some of the existing herbs that are now inhabiting the raised beds (rosemary, mint, sage) to make room for the larger items. The pumpkins will go in the in-ground bed next to the garage.
I pulled out this crazy Brussels sprout plant and gave it to the chickens, who devoured it with much enthusiasm!
Good luck with your garden!
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised your chickens loved the Brussels sprout. I've read they like all sorts of greens. :o)
