Another Bed Planted

written by Yvonne

Time to tackle bed #4.  It's been overgrown for some time now, and while nothing new may grow, it won't hurt anything to clean it out and throw some seeds down. So that's what I did.


After cleaning it out, I planted cabbage, 2 kinds of carrots, and Swiss chard. Tom only had enough materials for a half bed's worth of hoop house which he installed on this bed once I was done.


Wow! Look at that lettuce!


The kale gets harvested down about every two weeks now.


We'll be eating beat greens VERY soon. They need to get just a little bit larger.


Collards are getting harvested about once every three weeks now.


Wait, what's this? How did these get in here?
 

Looks like someone was helping to split firewood. Just get the wedge in place, pound it down with the sledgehammer a bunch of times and...
