An Evening in the Garden

February 2, 2014 by Tiffany Davis Leave a Comment

Well I will start by acknowledging it is Super Bowl Sunday…aka “Thank God Football is over Day”.  My husband has been fbplayerbattling a bout of bronchitis so he was watching the game in his PJs by himself; poor guy.

I decided to make him some game food (aka junk food); and then I headed out to the garden.

I really haven’t had a lot of time for my garden so far this year.  I’ve been harvesting a bit and I did plant the potatoes.  But I haven’t done much else.  So I evaluated the boxes a bit and decided to work a bit on box 1.

It needed a little pruning, all of which was added to my compost bin.  I harvested some Swiss Chard, kale and the last few

carrots in that box.  Then I was able to replant 2 boxes with green onions, added about 3 – 4 seeds in the boxes where none grew and I replanted the carrot boxes with some baby Bok Choy.  The two Brussels sprout plants have taken off and I am eagerly awaiting the first veggies!!!

Then I got my first really big harvest of spinach.  Out of Box 3 & 4.  I was hoping to replant some boxes in those but I lost my light.  Hopefully I will get out later this week.  AND check out my surprise cabbage – I’m getting a beautiful head on the first one!

earlybirdI love being a backyard farmer!  I am also so proud to be a coordinator for the Backyard Homesteading Conference.  If you haven’t checked this out than I highly recommend you go over and give it a look. Some of the most awesome teacher/mentors in Arizona!
