a new home, a new garden

We're getting our garden going here at the new house in Clayton.  Our new landlord isn't as forgiving as the last so we're not digging up any grass to put in a garden here.  That means containers only for now.



Limited space means no one gets their own room.  Corn gets snap peas for a roommate.  Tomatoes going in with cucs, peppers with peas, carrots, and onions are next.  I ordered tomatoes and peppers from burpees so they're just sitting with place holders for now.  Cantaloupe doesn't play we'll with others so he's got his own bucket.  Cabbage lives with Swiss chard and green beans; summer squash with nasturtium.  Broccoli is still looking for a home.  The lettuce and spinach I just mixed all together.  

The round barrel holds the leftover bulbs from our wedding favors.  Not sure how they'll do not being planted in the fall but they had sprouts so I'm hopeful.

As always gardening is a big experiment. I'm looking forward to what this new location has to offer!
