It's great to see that our Garden of Eatin is up and running with plants in the ground!
Warm weather finally came out so we took a risk in planting those frost susceptible veggies!
Check out some pictures from our garden!

As you can see, I spaced my peppers a little close together. This allows some of the leaves from the neighboring plants to shade the bearing fruit!
Above you can see on the bottom right hand corner I am starting cucumbers by seed! hopefully I will be able to germinate some!

| Its important to keep in mind that flowers have a place in the garden too. Especially important in organic gardens because flowers attract beneficial insects that will eat other insects which are on a mission to eat your crops. Marigolds and Alyssum are excellent examples of flowers that can attract hoverflies and parasitic mini-wasps. Also the marigold flowers attract butterflies and hoverflies, and the roots produce a secretion that kills root-eating nematodes in the soil. The flower petals are edible. |
