Eat everything I grow! haha seriously no, we're working on turning this
place into a profitable berry(and eventually tree fruit, but that takes
quite a while) totally organic farm(I just water the stuff, and use the
compost courtesy of my bunnies for fertilizer...I've also heard bat guano
is
like the BEST fertilizer, is that true? cause we got plenty of colonial
bats
around here in decent weather), and we have 1 currant(they grow wild here,
as do elderberries and I will get those too), strawberries grow wild in
the
yard, as does chamomile/lilacs/wild roses. This place also came with 2
apple
and 2 cherry trees, but we get late frosts here so don't usually get
fruit.
And this month we got a Dwarf Northsky blueberry, 2 pear trees(1 Asian, 1
Bosc) and Niagara Grape on sale, and last year I got alot of free produce
from a farmer's market friend, and I saved a bunch of the seeds from it
and
have started planting them, and so far 2 yellow corns have sprouted...I'm
so
happy...I know last year our homegrown potatoes tasted so buttery
delicious,
I can't wait to taste this year's produce...we've got seeds for at least 5
different kind of tomatoes(already started one, yellow pear tomoatoes, the
rest get started this week), lettuce mixes(and spinach/kale and a turnip
that is for the greens), popcorn, beans, broccoli, sunflowers for yummy
seeds, beets, carrots, melons, bell peppers, kohlrabi, peas, radishes,
squash, eggplants, and cucumbers, plus the herbs I have...it's gonna be a
tasty year! I'm just glad I can start things indoors because we don't have
enough of a growing season otherwise...I have pictures of the corn babies
that I will be posting on alt.binaries.pictures.garden
later...unfortunately
it's been cloudy lately so there wasn't quite enough light to make the
picture clear as I wanted.
