Planted

I’m going to try posting this as quickly as possible before every muscle in my body seizes up. I feel it coming.

The pavers were left here by the previous owners, it’s nice to finally have a use for them. At some point I’ll draw up a garden plan, but for now I’ll just record here what I planted.  In the large bed in the rear we have asparagus, strawberries, roma tomatoes, basil, marjoram, parsley, marigolds, nasturtium, ornamental and birdhouse gourds. The small bed on the right contains grape tomatoes, 2 varieties of sweet peppers, onions, carrots, marigolds, nasturtium and pot marigolds. The center bed holds garlic, lettuce, Early Girl, Celebrity and Big Boy tomatoes along with nasturtium and pot marigolds. The small bed on the left contains Kentucky Wonder pole beans, Yukon Gold potatoes and marigolds.

A tiny bed on the far left will be home for sugar snap peas to grow up the fence. Please ignore the grass clippings, somebody wasn’t paying attention to what they were doing.

 

Burpless cucumbers are growing up a recycled bench that was missing a few legs. Mint will fill this barrel.  Other barrels have Greek and Italian oregano and sage.

And if that weren’t enough, I’ve also been filling in holes in the landscaping.

I’m done now. I’m going to go pass out. If you don’t hear from me for awhile it’s because I can no longer lift my arms to type.
