It's been awhile!

I feel off the blog train. Not only on this blog, but on my book related one as well.

A couple of weekends ago, we decided to take advantage of the June like weather and do some work on the garden.

We started hardening our plants. 

The seedlings were getting so big they started screaming to be put into the ground. So Phil started to build the trellis on the small bed.

He used old wood from the door and its frame that we replaced in February to build a frame that he has string running down from the top to the plants below to act as a stake and should allow the plants to grow much taller. 

Here is a little photo spam of how it is set up.

He looped the string around a galvanized nail
at the top so that he can adjust the tension of the string.

We also had some of the seeds we planted in March start to sprout.

So far we have the following in the ground:

• Roma, Beefsteak, Cherry, and Yellow Plum tomatoes
• Japlenos, Bell, and Banana Peppers
• Cucumbers
• Romaine and Gourmet Lettuces
• Spinach
• Broccoli (that isn't fairing too well)
• Eggplant
• Carrots

We have been getting a lot of storms so the little plants have been taking quiet a beating. I'm hoping they all survive. We still have a ton of squares in fill in our larger bed and hopefully the weather will be better this weekend so we can get some more in the ground.
