Planted & Protected

Started working on the garden last week. We've expanded! Never did get Brad talked into raised beds, but that's ok, he really helped out alot this year. He tilled the garden up twice and it's probably doubled in size from last year. It's a nice L shape.






Brad's cousin Breanna was tearing out a bunch of strawberry plants at her new house and she was giving them away so I took 4 BIG bags full. I transplanted them into the new portion of the garden. Some of them really took off but others are looking kinda sad :( Hope they make it, would be great to have fresh strawberries. Wondering if they will have transplant shock and not produce any fruit this season. We'll see I guess!



Got 2 rows of yellow onion planted.



Also planted are 2 rows of spinach and 2 rows of Broccoli. Brad also got the fencing put up, hoping to keep the animals at bay. Also to keep Dane out, he loves to cut, dig, saw, stomp, etc (not good for the plants)



New this year is the sweet corn. Brad has planted 1 row with the intent of planting 1 row every 2 weeks to total 5 rows or so. We'll see how it does and whether we can keep the deer/coons out!
