Gardening Notes 2010

I realized this year that I need to start making notes on our veggie gardens so I can remember what to change for the following year. Our garden will grow again next year and here's some changes we'll make:

-plant more spinach (3-4 plants)
-plant more cucumbers (I didn't think this would be necessary but I'm not getting the quantity I need to make enough relishes and pickles)
-plant the tomatoes even further apart
-onions
-potatoes (so we can enjoy fresh baby potatoes)

August 4
-zucchini for baking & grilling

I'm sure the list will grow.

Todays harvest

Today we picked these pickling cucumbers from the garden, I think we're about to be inundated with tomatoes and cucumbers. We're just a couple of weeks away from prime canning season. And the eggs of course, we usually get 4-6 eggs per day from our five chickens.Laundry on the line....I enjoyed some quiet time today putting out the laundry while the kids were inside with my partner. I took my time to enjoy the quiet and I was extra ornery about how I hung the laundry so that it took me longer :) It's been weeks since I hung the diapers in the line so they're due for a sunning, today the wipes and family cloth also made it onto the line.
