Vegetable Garden

We have finally finished planting our vegetable garden! In our 20'x3' strip garden we planted 2 8' rows of bush beans, 3 beef-steak tomatoes plants (one poor plant did not make it ;-) , 2 jalapeƱo peppers, 2 green peppers, 2 banana peppers and 3 mini-pumpkin plants. In containers we planted 2 bush cucumbers and a bunch of assorted "wild-flowers" to be used for cut-arrangements. If you look closely you will see the strawberry plants that are groing wild all around the gardens.


We are very pleased that Alana's peppermint and spearmint plants are thriving, but not spreading outside of the containers. The rhubarb plants that we brought from New Brunswick are doing very well! We already harvested one crop of rhubarb and Alana made freezer jam...yummy!
