These Boots Were Made For Farming...

... and that's just what they did today. :) 
The final, fenced in garden. Calling this one The Big Z. Many thanks to the little brother for putting the fencing up.

All that work in February has ended up really paying off. so glad I got all that outta the way in advance, as just using the hoe today was starting to get to my hand.




Crops! A row of Roma tomatoes, row of cucumbers (Lemon & Straight) along the back, zucchini, squash (straight and crookneck), 3 sweet heirloom peppers, 1 'medium hot' heirloom pepper, 2 habanero peppers, 3 'Crimson Sweet' watermelons, dill, anise (hyssop) and bee balm. There's room in the back corner still, and I'm pretty sure I'll stick lavender there.




That broccoli I planted to late in the season? Yeah... you can't fool Mother Nature. It's blooming. Quite pretty, actually.

The romaine lettuce is doing quite well, as are is the buttercrunch lettuce and spinach. Nothing from the cauliflower or the cabbage. Better luck in the fall, yeah?

And those potatoes? Doing quite splendidly, thank you very much. :)

Also. I peeked. There are for real potatoes there. So exciting!!!




In other farm news, hoping to take a passel of eggs to the incubator around the 17th.
