Mesclun salad.

cut off all the topping of growing mesclun.  Enough for a salad before going out this evening.  Two days ago I cut off all the greens from beets stir fry with garlic onion olive oil.  Gonna get my vitamins this week.  I had to cover so the birds would leave me the rest 

tomorrow I'll cut off the chard.  not that they grow fast is just that there are enough plants and IM HUNGRY 

my first harvest !

today I cut some flat leaf parsley I added to my dinner.   it's rewarding to cut something I grew instead of market bought.

I also notices strawberries started to come out.  I bought them a few weeks ago and cut all all the flowers to give strength to the roots which did very well the plants got so much stronger.   Now I'm going to let the flowers bloom for the all summer berries 

Last plot number six: corn

In another post I will try to explain the differences between hybrid and GMO food sources.  I have planted a hybrid corn that looking me lasting sweetness as well as six corn per stalk.  You grow about 6 feet

The redline across means planting this plot in sessions every two weeks so I will not have a massive amount of corn all at once.  

I have read so many websites help forums books videos it's great to acquire all this knowledge and can test out what works in my garden.  I'll be sharing more soon.  

Plot number five. My sloppy one

Seems like we all have one plot that is always the lagging behind one.   Well this is the one for me

 in this plot I have Kayle Walla Walla onions patty squash some radishes three sweet potato plants and basil of course

I can't even tell what are weeds and what art radishes right now.   That Patty squash is going to be the larger plants.  I have to look and see what's up with the Kale.   well I'll be tackling this one tomorrow ... 

Plot number four: the misc plot

This one I consider my misc plot.  If I think of something I want to grow later I have room I add here.  I put left over tomato cause I could not fit them all in number one.  It would be too crowded.   Added curly parsley I bought cause the seeds are eeeever so slow I'm not sure if I'll be using it before fall ?   I have flat parsley which I like better in #1.  

I added cucumber bush instead of trellis don't know why I could not find non-bush.  I'm going to attempt to keep them off ground and disease free.  And of course basil.  Can never have too much. When I buy container they come in four do I got eight and put left over here.  I'm going to be freezing some if it in ice cube trays for the winter for soups etc 

Plot three: salad

Plot number three

this is the salad bin or plot.  In it I have mesclun, Bibb lettuce, radicchio, escarole, swim chard, arugula. 

I have no cover yet but I do plan to cover as it will be 100 many days during the summer and they will suffer from heat.  The birds are many here too I have a birdhouse an feeder right outside kitchen dinning room slide door and love to see them.    Pic of arugula 

Plot two: same measurement for the 1-3 plot 12 x 3 feet

Plot number two.  The second one I got ready.  Working on them in numerical sequence    In it I'm growing potato, strawberry, snow pea in bush, beet, radishes, carrots, cilantro, basil.    I guess you can figure out my favorite herbs.    specially when they Ate easy to grow.  

Some grow under ground, while others are quick growing above grands.  makes sense.    I'm using horse manure aged from a friend who has two horses.   Met her on Facebook page on westernslope free, yard sale and bartering group site.   I will be sharing produce with her as a thank you.   another friend for home composting I'll be sharing  something.   Gardening does not have to be expensive if I'm willing to find reasorses.
