Our Garden

Today we finished our seed planting...all raised beds, pots and areas of soil that were remotely viable for sewing were sprinkled with a variety of seeds...in the past I have helped set up rows to sew the seeds into...this year I designed the garden to be easy to reach the stuff the children graze on, kale (they LOVE kale...LOVE LOVE LOVE kale), parsley and other salad greens into pots along the front edge of the plot...the carrots and radishes and beets that need a little more time to mature are scattered in behind the border of salad stuff....We shall see if my mad plans yield us some more produce this year...in the shady plot this year the children scattered edible flowers...so we can have tasty colours and happy bees will come...I added five pumpkin seedlings (fingers crossed we get a  orange squash like vegetable)...Along the fence we planted peas...they have been growing and are almost tall enough to start grabbing hold of the chain link (so exciting)...along the wooden fence near our sand box we set up a row of pots with many different beans...hopefully they will make it to climb on the framework over the sand box and give us  little shade...We also scattered fennel and dill seeds everywhere to encourage Ladybugs...we even chucked about some oat grass seeds to add to our clover just because we could...Here is hoping I have photos of the successful progress to post.
