And the result of planting all day. We have filled in an entire raised garden. Tomatoes in the back, peppers in front of them, then green beans and cucumbers. On the other side of fence, zucchini and squash. Happy growing!

First round of veggie planting.

Step 1: fertilize the garden with natural/manure-based fertilizer - check!

Step 2: get rid of unwanted, non-grass growth (aka weed) by spraying with a human/pet friendly mix:
- apple cider vinegar
- table salt
- Dawn dish soap

Step 3: refill all pots with soil-less potting mix! No wonder most of our potted plants never grow. Too much soil! Not enough room for plants to grow, breath and drain.
Work begins today! Updates coming up.
You too, have a fabulous gardening and summer season!

Sunflowers from the market! Make me smile :)

Garden bounty… Finally.

Hot little guys. Thanks to the motion sensors garden owl, they are still here. #advancedprotectionservice

Peek-a-boo! This Year’s cucumbers are doing much better. No white moldy residue on leaves so far…:) we fertilized the soil before planting so maybe that brought balance back to the soil.

And for dessert, a mini-peach tart with Wisconsin grown peaches. Love fruit tarts especially with seasonal fruit!
