Well this is a thread about nutrition, and veggies are very nutritious... It's spring :wave (well on this side of the world anyway) I have planted... It's a really long list, but here goes. Asparagus, Butternut Squash, Summer Squash, Zucchini, Cucumber, Beets, Tomatoes, Anaheim Peppers, Bell Peppers, PURPLE Peppers! We have planted Potatoes, Spinach, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Salad mix, Carrots, Onions, Strawberries, Peas. This is our first year in our home, so we also planted Red raspberries, Blueberries, Blackberries... and that doesn't even count all the flowers we've planted. I think it's a sickness!

Anybody else caught the Gardening flu yet?

Love, Kelli
 
Kelli, I had such a hard time growing things in Loveland...it stayed way too dry for my Missouri ways of gardening. We also have the bug.

Tomorrow we are planting one of the garden plots, we have some of the onions in, and we are doing some more. Carrots, Lima beans, green beans, sweet peas, snow peas, potatoes, about five types of tomatoes, and about five types of peppers, tomitillos, four types of lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, three types of squash, and cantelope.

We have another raised bed garden for kitchen herbs, flowers (some flowering herbs), and berries...that's the next one we are going to plant. Tomorrow, Michael is tilling up the area for the corn patch, and watermelon patch. He is also putting together trellises for the cucumbers, and one for grapes...we haven't every done grapes before. We are also going to do a small pumpkin patch. We have three flower beds, and we have some flowers coming up, but I am going to put in some seeds too. I am also going to try to scatter some mixed seeds in a field area this year, an area that I don't want to landscape. We will put some sunflowers along the barn, and then I have some trees to add to our orchard.

I hope we can get all of this done soon, because the cold weather and the rain have kept us from a lot of it so far.
 
You have a barn? That sounds so nice. My husband and I have always thought we wanted land, but God knows we probably would just get ourselves in trouble with it!
