Adventures in Gardening–Expanding the Garden & Week 2!

Garden 2009 001The new raised bed vegetable garden is moving right along!  I finished planting the remaining squares with more veggies and added some marigolds to help with pest/critter control.  The rest of the veggies just needed their daily dose of water and weeding. There really is nothing to the weeding, just  a few here and there.  But it’s fun to get down and up close and personal with my garden!

Here is a look at all the veggies together. I am sure that I overcrowded them but I was nervous they wouldn’t do well and wanted to hedge my bets, I hope that it doesn’t backfire later on!

This week was really about maintenance but I had so many left over tomato plants that I decided to add another smaller bed next to the main bed.

I think I overcrowded this bed a bit with tomatoes; going to need to thin it out!

I am going to add one more box in this space! I am addicted to my veggie garden!

We had a frost warning the second week. I covered the veggies with buckets and blankets just to be safe!
