Tuesday Already

 Hi Everyone!

I can't believe it's Tuesday already. Too much on my plateS plus trying to get the garden going. We have had some NO RAIN days but with that comes the wind. OMG!!!! It's vicious. Mr. M. really helped in getting hoops put up on my new raised bed. It just about did him in but he got it done. He is so anemic that doing anything takes twice as long and it tires him out completely. However, he is a trooper and is always there for me. Here is the garden so far.
 

 New raised bed. Bad shot of the hoops. LOL Yes, there is an umbrella.


 And this is what is growing in the new bed.


 This is the next garden area. Here there is potatoes that need to be moved, peas, string beans and squash.


 This is one half of the old raised bed. There is cabbage, squash, carrots and onions. I will show you the new way I am trying to grow carrots.


Here is the other half of the old raised bed. Beans, peas, cabbage carrots and onions.

 

 Here is one side of the big garden. Napa Cabbage, green cabbage, broccoli, bush and string beans. Carrots and radish seeds are there too.


 The other side of the big garden. Beets, carrots, onions, cucumbers.


 I like this view of the big garden.


 Here is the 5th area. Buckets of cauliflower, Cabbage, The grow bags have more cabbage, Cauliflower and Broccoli and two bags of onions.


 Here is a bit of a close up.


 Let's not forget the potatoes. These are russets. Indeterminate.


 These are gold potatoes. They grow so different. Determinate.


And of course the strawberry plant with onions inside the cloche and flowers outside. There is a rat trap by the fence too.
I'm not sure why I decided to grow so many brasicas this year.
Are you growing a garden? 
I would love to see what you are growing.

Love that meme, LOL. Good luck with your garden this year. Is Mr M taking iron supplements to treat his anemia?

I really like growing crops but this year it's a little difficult to do, I hope I can make it. Mr. M's effort to help you is so touching!! I hope it gets better day by day!

You have a wonderful man.
Maybe you can help. Ingo suggested I give my wood-strawberries from 1974 (correct date) new earth. Yay or nay . they seem to do well. We have a balcony.

The garden will seem extra sweet this year given the effort that went into getting it ready.

I have lots of weeds growing this year. I am not good at gardening to my dismay.

Nice raised beds and your garden looks amazing. Hope the hubby's anemia goes away. I'd forgotten about that side of it all. My hubby had that for awhile too. Happy gardening and to no wind. hugs-Erika

OMGosh! Looks like a superb start to a beautiful garden!
The wind has been howling against the apartment building today. Even though it is 61 right now the wind makes it too cool to have the door cracked open. It's shaking the tree across the way back and forth like crazy. One of those windy days, for sure. :)

We've had a lot of windy days too. What is it this year? Seems everywhere. Meanwhile, you have been VERY busy with the garden and oh my! It's looking fantastic! Well done, Nicole!
