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=

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.

Beans from the other side

Back yard update 1-19-2020

Cabbages in the tall raised bed

The broccolis we planted in the tall bed finally show some growth

Onions and lettus

Cabbage, corn lemon tree, Moringa and beans

We pulled the peas on this side since they weren't producing and we need to start prepping for the next rotation. We are leaving the plants in the rows to green mulch for now.

Beets, spinach, we think that big plant on the bottom left is a random chamomile.

The other set of peas that are producing and what's currently left of the raddish.

Backyard update 12/29/2019

Last backyard update of the year 2019

Starting off with the small garlic plot, we planted these not too long ago and have already discovered that we'll need to put some gutters up to help ease the line where it washed off the roof when it rains.

The carrot patch! We're working on making some extra boxes so we can have them spread out a bit more, the carrots are still growing however it's at a much slower/lower rate then if they had been put in tidy rows instead of heavily crowded like they are

Full shot of the garden minus the carrots.

First two rows of the lower beds

Beets, spinich and a possible Camomile on the left side and peas w/ fence trellis and raddishes on the right

2nd set of the low rows

Onions, lettus and more lettus

Final low bed w/cabbage, peas, green beans and corn and the tall raised w/ the potted lemon and Moringa tree

Cabbage and Bok choy in the tall bed

Small potted fig and a tiny shot of the carrot round

One of the cabbages in the low beds

A Moringa tree potted on the dogs side of the yard

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

Backyard update 12/8/19 pt1

Almost Full view of the back garden so far.

Left to right=

Lt- beets

Rt-peas and the makeshift trellis using 2 stakes and a plastic yard fence.

LB- spinach

Rb- raddishes, we've been getting a few raddishes every couple of days but since we planted too close and didn't think they're small "salad" raddishes.

Lt- our attempt at growing Kohlrabi

Rt-lettus

LB- onions. Onions aren't suppy to do too well in our climate but we're still going to try.

Rb- more lettus.

*we had troubles with the lettus because we hand seeded next season we are thinking of doing seed strips so they don't wash out.

Moringa tree, lemon tree, Copahogen cabbage, corn and green beans

The corn is trying to seed but there isn't anything for it to pollinate with, we've written off getting any actuall harvest off the corn however we're still keeping them to have the beans trellis up them.

Close up of a green bean and the Copahogen cabbage

The michillini cabbage in the tall raised bed, there is also a couple of onions and some kale we are trying to grow

A fig that we thought had died is flourishing again so we uppotted it and put it in the back garden side, in the pot is our raddish harvest for the day

And last but not least the carrots, we've not gotten anything harvestable yet but they sure do have pretty tops. We plan on making some extra beds just for carrots for next growing season.

Hodge podg picture of the extra tall bed with the Brocolli, Michillin Cabbage and a kale plant

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.
