This year our garden is off to a great start. We have been composting and rotating our food scraps for the garden all year. The winter compost has yielded rich dark soil and a plethora of worms! And thanks to my friend, Debra Young, who brought us a trailer load of horse manure, the garden is enjoying even greater nutrients! We have planted corn, several varieties of beans, tomatoes and peppers, peas and okra. We planted squash, zucchini, cucumbers and eggplant, and of course an herb garden. Yesterday the watermelon was planted and cantaloupe is to follow. It should be a great crop! Hopefully [with a little deterrent I have yet to come up with] our chickens will not eat up all our cantaloupe, tricking me by leaving just the outside shell like they did last year!
- Lots of varieties of tomatoes this year.
