Spring Planting

Our planter boxes were a bit shallow last year - might explain why our carrots stopped growing after 4 inches.  This year we decided to go bigger.

 

I built these two boxes out of cedar fence posts.  I'm hoping the rough-cut finish will add to the homestead look instead of indicting me of lazyness.  We want them to last so I covered the outside with a good water treatment. 

It was a long day that invovled getting a yard of soil, filling the boxes and buying the seedlings.  By the end of the day, we have the new vegitable garden. 

Bush beans and green onions

 

3 varieties of leaf lettice, more green onions and 3 varieties of kale.

 

We had enough soil left over to plant our peppers, and tomatoes.  I can't wait for the salsa!
