The Garden Chronicles

It has been a busy place around these parts.  Living in rural America means that when things dry-out sufficiently the spreading of manure, tilling of fields and planting is a near non-stop endeavor.  Morning, noon and night the sound of farm machinery is ubiquitous. 

This armchair farmer has been busy too.  My garden is basically installed.

The first sowing of radishes looks sad; a consequence of neglect while away on vacation.  A second sowing has been made along with spinach, five varieties of lettuce, carrots, beets, green beans, cantaloupe, cucumbers, pumpkins and leeks.

The peas are up! 

After the risk of frost has passed the sweet peppers and tomatoes will get plugged-in.  

Vive le Jardin Magnifique!
