Back yard update 1-27-2020

We started setting up for the new season so we've got some new stuff planted now

The current carrot bed, we plan on adding at least 2 more carrot beds this year as well as an onion bed.

Garlic bed, I'm thinking we might need to plant some more garlic since it's looking like not all of it sprouted. Looks to be 7 or 8 cloves actually have growth currently

Full view of the beds when we started working on them today

top left= is now Kale

Bottom left= we'll be pulling the spinich in another week or two but leaving what we think is a wild chamomile.

Top right= Now has Blue Bean Bush and Borlotto Di Vigevano Nano beans where the peas used to be

bottom right= Tuscano Kale where the Raddishes where.

Leaving these rows as they are for now with the Lettus, Onions and I can't remember what's in the top left but there is a celery plant in there

The corn and beans where pulled we planted some squash in its place. The cabbage will be left for another week or two and the peas where also pulled we are looking into a spring/summer mix to replace them. The lemon tree has some flower buds on it and the Moringa has grown a bit even with the weird cold streak we had

Cabbage in the tall bed has grown some flowering off shoots!

I think this was Kohlrabi that we planted at the begging of season and while it struggled along it's finally growing. There are some small onions between them and the cabbages.

Garden update 2/23/2020

Backyard update 1 of 2

Back garden pea row=

top left= kale,

Bottom left= what we think is a wild Chamomile and some spinich that will be pulled for new plants in the next week or so.

Too right=blue bean bush, borlotto di vigevano nano beans

bottom right= kale tuscano

Top left= we think there's a celery growing and what we think is kale. The questionable kale will be pulled soon to make space for crop rotation.

Bottom left= onions

Top right= lettuce that we are letting go to seed

Bottom right= lettuce that may also be allowed to go to seed.

On the left side is a Moringa tree that may or may not be dying but we won't know for a few weeks more.

The lemon tree has lots of little buds on it and is currently kind of covered by the Michillin cabbage that we are allowing to go to seed.

Top right bed is Copohagen cabbage and the bottom right has squash seeds that have yet to show.

An almost full view of the space we have to work on the back, I moved all of the extra debris and such to one space.

Backyard update 3/11/2020

Part 1 of 2

We've gotten a ton of rain this last day and looks like the forecast is rain until the end of the week.

Front and back picture of the first 2 beds

top left= kale that's finally getting a few sprouts

Bottom left=the wild Chamomile is taking over the bed but producing lots of flower heads. We're very happy to get lots of flowers because besides being bee attractants we're going to trim some off and use them for homemade soaps.

Top right=blue bean bush, borlotto di vigevano nano beans

bottom right= kale tuscano

Top left= the questionable kale and celery are growing pretty well. Still have yet to pull the kale but should be in the next week or so

Bottom left= onions

Top right= lettuce that we are letting go to seed

Bottom right= lettuce that is definitely going to seed

Cabbage, squash, lemon tree, Moringa tree and the tall bed

Michillin cabbage heads, we'll probably be harvesting the big head soon also, there's a little tomato plant in there

Copohagen seed pods

Lemon tree with the bok choy and a close up of the Copohagen seed pods

Some better pictures of the Copohagen cabbage and brocolli

Front yard update 6-9-2020 pt 1 of 2

Tomato row, we'll have to go through and trim up some of the dead stuff and pull a few dead plants but for the most part it's been doing really well. The volunteer sunflower is getting closer to harvest time

The squash row got mostly removed due to a squash bug infestation. Basically all we could do was remove all the squash plants and hope they go away. It's been about two weeks since and I haven't noticed any. It was a very good reminder to keep an eye out on pest species because they appeared withing a matter of days and over took pretty much the entire row.

The third row has Delecotta/jester squash and a secondary plant in it but I cannot remember what it is. We had planted the seeds before discovering the squash bug infestation. And are hoping now that they are no longer a problem but only time will tell.

Outer left row= Corn row- a lot of corn got knocked over in a storm we had earlier this month but it seems to still be growing fine so we are letting it keep going until harvest time.

Middle/second row= yellow Crookneck squash with a zuchinni plant mixed in. This row hasn't had an issue with squash bugs so far and we're hoping it stays that way.

3rd/outer row= beans

We have a couple different types of beans growing. There is the Blue Bean Bush, Borlotto Di Vigevano Nano Beans that we had been growing in the back as well as a dry bean variety that has produced some bean pods (I will post a close up in pt2)

Better picture to show the corn stalks that got knocked over

The Armanian Cucumbers are spread out all over the place, they for sure will be grown again but will be kept in an outer row so that they can have the pace needed to spread out. Though I suppose they could be trellised upwards but would need relatively strong panneling. The cucumbers coming off of them generally weigh close to 2 pounds by harvest time

My pepper and onion row is doing.... Okayish, I am finally getting some peppers off my plants but it's not quite the production I was hoping for. I will have a close up of them in pt 2

Gladiolas are in bloom, we have purples, pinks, yellows and even a white one we plan on putting gladiolas into the flower tow once it is all set up and ready to go.

Close ups of the gladiolas, the Jalapeno that had been in the pot is officially dead, the pot will be removed before the next set of pictures.

Close up of one of our corn stalks with an ear on it! It's a popping variety so it's not ment to be eaten fresh but we are super excited about it!

Backyard update pt 1 of 2

Week ending 3/21/2020

Garlic bed

Top left= kale

Top right= blue bean bush, borlotto di vigevano nano beans

Bottom left= Spinich and volunteer wild chamomile

Bottom right= kale tuscano

Close up of some borlotto di vigevano nano beans pods.

Top left= the questionable celery might actually be a sort of cilantro. The questionable kale is being left up for now but we also know we have some Kohlrabi growing in this bed.

Bottom left= onions

Top right= lettuce that we are letting go to seed

Bottom right= lettuce that may also be allowed to go to seed.

Top right bed is Copohagen cabbage, we harvested one of the heads and plan on eating it this week. The other we'll let grow a little longer. The bottom right has squash seeds that have yet to show so we planted some of the pre sprouts from the seed chamber.

The lemon tree has lots of little buds on it and is still kind of covered by the Michillin cabbage that we are allowing to seed.

I don't think the Moringa has survived the funky weather but I'm holding out a bit longer. If for nothing more than to use the trunk as a trellis for other plants.

The Moringa tree is dead so we'll be starting some new sprouts soon.

The lemons Bok choy partner is actually a kale not a bok choy.

Close up of the broccoli and the kale next to it.

The michillin cabbage is going to pulled this week and replaced with something else as the wild birds are going absolutely nuts over the seed pods and we'd like to save some for our next growing season.
