As we come to the end of 2012 and finish my
Living off the Land blog, I will be doing some yearly
totals and recaps......tonight it is the.....
Garden
the seeds were planted in the greenhouse on April 6th
the plants were placed in the garden on May 26th...the garden is
50 feet long and 25 feet wide....with a fence running through the
middle for the beans to grow up on.
we planted.....canteloupe, watermelon, honeydew, cucumbers,
tomatoes (4 types), bell peppers (2 types), hot peppers (5 types),
onions (3 types), potatoes (3 types), lettuce (4 types) and cabbage.
the garden produced 1,400 lbs of food...AMAZING!!!
we ate a bunch, canned a bunch and gave a bunch away.....
this year the weather was very hot and dry...so we watered just about
everyday...this total does not include any fruit from the trees, as the crazy
temperatures in the spring killed off ALL the fruit.
the best part of it.....we are still eating the lettuce and potatoes!!!
we ate the last of the tomatoes last night!!!
Pleasant Dreams!!!
