Today I finally buckled down and begun preparing our vegtable garden for planting. The first photo is a photo from 2 weeks ago . I forgot to take one today since my phone was charging inside. The weeds where taking over and up to my knees!

It took me 2 hours to weed it all and rake out the debrie and prepare the soil. We are now ready to plant. well after cole shovels up my piles first lol.

the onions and rubarb  are really coming along already . Also at the far side of the garden we have a lovely herb garden growing and it has done so well over the winter . many of the spices have come back strong and growing very tall. so far we have basil, winter and summer sage, oregano and rosemary, however the rosemary did not recover over the winter.  I have just planted more basil, mint and parsley.

For the vegetable garden we are planting:

bell peppers
banana peppers
lettuce
carrots
celery
onions
cabbage
tomatoes
onions
cucumber
pumpkins 
and maybe corn or squash!

Its going to be a great season and I am looking forward to making my own salads and vegtables from my own garden and hard work.

We also have many fruit trees, we have a pear tree, possible apple tree and 2 others we have not identified yet. including grapes. I am excited to see what the other trees  are.  Will be great to have fresh fruit this summer and for canning come winter!

what more could a PKU’er dream for??

Happy Summer everyone!
