Garden Pics – July 2024

In 2023 we added 4 short wooden beds to the garden, these were offered as hand-me-downs from our wonderful neighbors who had once used them in their garden. I didn’t have much time for the garden that year so there aren’t any posts with pics, and it ended up getting horribly overgrown with weeds. In 2023, we also got some baby chicks and built a coop next to the garden!

At the beginning of 2024 I added 3 more raised beds to the garden, started mulching the isles with wood chips, and heavily mulching the beds with grass clippings from the part of our yard that is mowed every few weeks. This year was very easy for weed management after the setup effort! We also got more chicks, started getting lots of eggs from our chicks from last year, and started hatching some out!

You cant see it yet in these pics, but the black and green bean vines have gone wild! In the pictures below you can see them just starting their way up the fence but by the end of the season they had taken over the entire wall of the fence!

This is my about me section. I should write things. I like cooking, playing music, gardening, nature, and carpet pythons. Im fluffing up the length of this about me section for testing purposes. Does it need to be longer? Maybe!

    1. Thank you Hazel! Your blog is fantastic and your place looks like a paradise as well.

      Ours looks much different right now, the snow just melted and we are still a good ~7 weeks away from our last annual frost. But its finally starting to become garden season and I am just starting some seedlings inside. I am excited for another year. =)
