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.

I took a break from my seeds last week since I went away for the weekend. When I was gone, Hubster just about killed my seedlings! Fortunately, I was able to nurture most of them back to health.

Pumpkin also munched on all the scallions and didn’t save the roots, except for three that were left in the container, my supply is busted…  I think these boys are trying to sabotage my garden!

This week, I was able to directly sow more seeds in my raised beds. Time for more carrots, peas, sugar snap peas and radishes.
