Boxes and Seedlings

We took some pictures of the raised boxes we built in the fall last year. Here they are (three of them) all lined up. Hoping to add about 10 more for the summer. You can expect to feed one adult for the season for each box planted, and two children per box. We have 9 adults and three children who will be sharing the produce harvest this year.





As I talked about before, we planted some things way late in the season and they sprouted, but seemed to hibernate over the winter months. The snow peas and green peas are starting to take off since the weather has been warming some.







Here is a good picture of one of the pea plants wanting to vine. We will be setting up some supports soon to that they can vine vertically.








A nice picture of our spinach, which is also starting to take off a bit since the weather is warming.











Swiss Chard is also showing a little growth since most of the little seedlings actually did make it through the winter.











I tried to add a calendar for our planting schedule to the page here, but I am still figuring out how to do that. We planted brocolli, cauliflower and cabbage in line with the planting schedule for our hardiness zone. With these, we were to start them as seedlings indoors. Here are a few pictures we took of our little pods and seeds. The brocolli actually started to come up in two days! I was amazed at the fast germination.


































Baby brocolli! Hopefully, the cauliflower and cabbage will start to come up soon as well.






I will check back in when we make some further progress. So exciting to get this going on a good note this year! Keeping fingers crossed that all of our changes will make for a great harvest.
