Sow This: The Garden Is In

Well, we did it! We got the grapes ripped out, the soil tilled, the rows hoed, and the seeds planted. Now we just wait...and chase birds and squirrels away as if they were snatching the food right out of the boys' mouths.
Our little compost bin is in as well. The next project will be installing (after we build them) rain barrels. Now if I can just figure out where to get free used 55 gallon plastic food storage barrels.

Here is the round up of what we will hopefully be eating until next year:
Lavender
Chives
Parsley
Rosemary
Thyme
Basil
Leeks
Two types of tomatoes
Watermelons
Peas
Brussel Sprouts
Yellow Squash
Zucchini
Romaine Lettuce
Butternut Squash
Carrots
Cucumbers - normal and picklers
Leaf Lettuce
Green Onions
Broccoli
Grean Beans
Cantaloupe
Swiss Chard
