Hay Bale Garden Part 4

There's lots of action in the garden this week! We lost most of our lettuce because we had to leave them while they were way too young for a few days and it's been Africa hot here.

We have baby tomatoes, little collards, tiny lettuces leaves, a mini squash,a happy pineapple plant,

Mike and me in the garden this week!!

Collards!!! My personal favourite vegetable!

Hay Bale Garden Part 2

The bales have been officially 'seasoned' and seeds have been sown!

And the first plant has been planted in a bale. We picked this plant up from our local organic gardening supply, Worm's Way and we aren't sure what kind of a plant it is. Here are the possiblities as we see it: squash of some kind? watermelon? I really think it's a squash.

We still have 3 bales unplanted. Going in one will be Swiss Chard and Cherry Tomatoes in another. The third might be for herbs....we're not sure yet. Oh yeah!! The third bale is for our Hot Peppers: Anaheim, Cayenne, Jalapeno, Santa Fe Grande & Serrano!!

Ha Cha Cha!!
