This week has been busy in our garden, both our potager and landscaping. I think the muscles in my back are proving that we overdid it… (Hubster said that I’m not allowed to have any sore muscles or back pain while I’m in my 20’s….)
Indoors: I sowed more seeds; lettuces, cabbage, and even some indoor radishes (I want to see how they perform indoors and might try to grow some year round…). I started more romaine and celery from kitchen scraps, and removed he potatoes from my kitchen windows sill to make room…
Outdoors:Hubster built me four new raised beds, one 1’x2′ for my Jerusalem artichokes (aka: sunchokes) and three 1.5’x1.5′ for my sweet potatoes, potatoes and blue potatoes.
Small Raised Beds
In the largest raised bed I planted some cauliflower and celery starters I purchased from the local garden store. We had a few nights when temperatures dropped and frost hit, but I was prepared. I used glass bowls and vases as mini greenhouses to protect my tender plants.

wow. u must be a domestic superstar 🙂 well done. there is nothing better than having your own vegetable garden and own fresh herbs!
Haha, thanks! & I agree about the fresh veggies, best thing ever!
How do you have enough glass that is large enough? I have one kimchi jar and one candle glass. Want to magic some over to me!?!
🙂 Because, I catered my entire wedding I have tons of vases/bowls from the candy buffet… and some large mason jars too!
Your plantings are really moving along! Your raised beds look like my planters last Spring. I emptied the cupboards trying to find appropriate “greenhouses” to protect my babies. It worked as I’m sure yours did. Gardeners are a resourceful lot. 🙂
🙂 Great minds…
Love how you saved your tender plants from the frost.
Thanks! 🙂
Beautiful start! I can almost taste the fresh fruits and veggies.
Thanks Elle!
wow, you have your own garden.. i hope I can do that someday. it’s so much healthier, no hormones and all.
Absolutely better! Last year we were in the process of moving and didn’t have our own veggies, but there was a local farm stand that only sells organic food. 🙂
