Dogwood's are in full production right now.

little Collard.

Collard garden looking good. fence is up and rain has helped plants out greatly. all is well.

Cabbage and Collards

The plants have sprung up and have started growing very well. We now have groups of plants that we have thinned out and transplanted into spots that did not grow. All the plants are now growing nicely and have survived the storm. We also put up a fence for protection from animals, but so far it only caused one of the team members to trip into the garden and cause cabbage apocalypse. Everything survived and is growing well.

Hotbed Progress

Well the hotbed has been cleaned out and the windows and other raw materials have been gathered. We have now started to put together all the things needed. The windows are going to act as an insulator, to keep the heat in during the winter, and as a door to get in and out of the hotbed. We have placed a two by four on the top of the back wall, and screwed the hinges onto the two by four. We then tried to screw the windows to the hinges but the screws stripped so now we will use bolts. MORE updates soon!

The first pickings from the collard garden. Taste like cauliflower.

Watering for the week of September 19th

During my time of watering the garden I noticed the plants were growing nicely. One thing that caught my eye was the amount of small black bugs that seemed to have settled on the vines growing around the bench area. On the bushes and trees there are a good bit of spider webs, my question is when do the spiders think they should start doing their part in our garden and control the bug population? Although we may not be enjoying all this rain we have gotten this week, the plants sure do appreciate it!
