Garden is in!

Last year our garden was pathetic.  It wasn't for lack of trying though.  Last April, May and June were so wet that most crops didn't get in the ground until almost July.  Although it was nice having tomatoes in November.

Since we've had such gorgeous weather this year, Dan got started on it early.  First he put fencing around the whole garden - no small feat since our garden is 50' x 100'.  Then he tilled up the whole garden prepping it...




The first thing Dan planted was wheat.  You can see it coming up below (looks like grass) and you can see the 7 foot high deer fencing and stronger chicken wire at the bottom...



We also have a boat-load of other things planted...  kale, swiss chard, collard greens, spinach and peas.  I'll be sure to give you updates as our goodies start coming in.
