A look around the Wyoming countryside!
This is a photo of the canal above our new home. In the background is the old metal water tower and the Bighorn Mountains. Do you see those storm clouds?
For supper last night I pulled enough carrots for all of us to enjoy! I'm wishing that I planted a 4x8 bed of carrots instead of 4x4... I LOVE CARROTS!!!
My 3 broccoli plants are now producing delicious side shoots. This little head that I harvest is almost as big as the main head that I cut back in July! Aaron ate the whole thing himself... he loves broccoli!
Fall Crops Update
1. I seeded broccoli in cups in the greenhouse (located inside on my 2nd floor porch). Most have germinated.
2. Replanted carrots in the empty carrot bed.
3. 4 squares of bush beans have emerged and have their first set of leaves.
4. I planted Sugar Ann peas last week... haven't germinated yet.
I plan to extend my growing season for... well... as long as possible by using hoop houses over my beds. THAT is an exciting benefit of SFG!
Eliot Coleman has a very interesting book on winter gardening... note to self: Buy it SOON!
