Yes, it is official — we ARE farmers. Where a seed was once sown we now have flourishing plants, and better yet, they are producing food!! It’s such a good sense of accomplishment, knowing that we can grow our own grub! Here’s the Bowersock Garden, based upon the square-foot gardening method. Basically, it’s one plant/vegetable variety per square foot. A few of the squares are empty as we’ve already harvested green leaf lettuce. It’s been really fun so far…can’t wait to see it develop!
What items have we found in the garden? Sugar snap peas! Nicely modeled as a moustache!
Our first harvest of green beans.
Basil, baby. I can’t get enough pesto.
Chard. A very nutritional leafy green.
Ehh…what’s up doc?
Tomato blight has hit Indiana hard. Our little cherry toms are feeling the effects.
Jalapeno peppers. Salsa makin’, here I come!
How ’bout them apples?! Coming this fall.
Hope your garden is blooming too!!
