More from our Garden

Here are some up close photos of our garden. It's been so rainy here lately the weeds are having a hayday.  I love going out first thing in the morning to see what is new and what has changed. It seems like they grow so much overnight. Its really magical.
We still have pie pumpkins, cucumbers, and zucchini to plant. And we are waiting on 1000 red wiggler worms to arrive and take up residence in our compost pile.
When we transplanted our tomatoes, they really looked like they were on their way out. We didn't think they would make it. We scooped out a hole for the root ball and threw in a handful of peat moss and a handful of crushed eggshells ( farm fresh, not store bought) and they look great now. The egg shells give them a boost of calcium from the roots up and they really needed it.We did the same in our strawberry plants too.
All in all, we have 6 raised beds, 20 pots, an onion bed, and a garlic bed.
we planted 5 okras but only 3 remain
