Grow Time






Remember all those seeds I bought while fighting my Peep addiction. Well, they’re in the ground!
The 4’x4’ raised bed is packed with peas, spinach, radishes, and onions. Beans are in a bean pot, a 2’ container. Since space is limited, I’m hoping they’ll grow upward onto poles. Still to come are tomato and pepper plants.
My yard is filled with critters: squirrels, crows, bunnies, and even skunks. I’ve covered the bed with a plastic mesh to give the seeds a fighting chance.
Mmmmm. . . . In about 60 days, we’ll be munching healthy on fresh homegrown veggies.
