How the garden grows

It's been far too long since we updated the blog, but that's because we've been busy in the garden.

Since the last post we've finished building the beds, filled in dirt, planted, and have been harvesting beautiful salad greens.

Peas, Squash, Tomatoes, Potatoes, herbs, poppies, calendula and nasturtiums are all in bloom. We have wonderful tomatoes, peppers, peas and beans all forming on the plants and now that we have finally gotten a couple of weeks of warmth, things are really taking off.

If you get the chance to stop by and check things out, I think you'll be amazed.

Since planting, we've gotten several loads of mulch donated, and Seattle University donated 5 yards of course compost/mulch which we have used as a deep mulch in all the raised beds to help retain water.

I'll try to get more current pictures up soon, but if you want to see it, you should come on down.
