Spring Garden 2018

When we pick the first green onion and first green tomato from the spring garden, then all that planting we did on a cold day in January pays off!  There is nothing like taking a walk out to the garden and coming back to the kitchen with a basket full of fresh vegetables for the evening meal. We have had a great spring garden this year with just the right amount of rain to have wonderful green vegetables and weeds of course. We are trying a little different garden space approach this year in a smaller area with maybe not so much to maintain, but with great production.

This Is What We Started With In January

This Is What We Have Today

Summer Squash Zucchini Swiss Chard Rosemary and A Few Marigolds

We Are Going To Have Wonderful Squash

We Planted The Bell and Jalapeno Peppers in between the rows of  the onions

and so far that is working out real well. As we harvest the onions the peppers will have all the space they need to produce.

We Have Green Tomatoes On The Vines

With Green Tomatoes On The Vines 

That Means We Are Having

Fried Green Tomatoes with 

Buttermilk Dressing

It is so much fun to watch it grow. We have a row of Okra planted on the outside edge of the onion patch. We have really utilized every square inch of the space.

In the front beds we have our tomato patch and across the path we have potatoes, collards, asparagus bed, green beans and mixed greens.

Our Blackberry Bushes Are Just Loaded This Year

I can already taste the Cobblers and Jam.

All of my friends are really excited to hear about the Blackberries this year!

I love the Blackberry Blooms, they are beautiful!

And out of that beautiful bloom comes that delicious berry!

The Kitchen Herb Garden That We Started

 Last Year Is Doing Great!

Parsley, Sage, Sweet Basil, Oregano and Dill

Sweet Basil and Thyme

We don't want to leave the garden area without saying good-bye to our little friend who feeds him or herself at the base of the bird feeder. There seems to be enough for everyone here at the cottage!

I sure hope that you enjoyed our walk through the garden today. I love to garden and bring all those fresh vegetables into my kitchen to be enjoyed by family and friends. Thanks so much for stopping by today to spend time in the garden with me and hope you will come back real soon!

Peace and Joy
