Photographic progression of the first year of the South garden at Powder Spring Farm, our new homestead.
We don't live there yet, so we were only able to tend the garden a couple of times a week, along with the help of our friend Q. Weeds flourished, and the dry weather warranted more watering than the garden received. We were happily surprised by what we were able to harvest, however.
We made lots of pesto & chimichurri, had some chard and zucchini, and are now enjoying a bounty of Lacinato kale, carrots, beets, Q's volunteer potatoes, and delicata squash. We have had some ripe tomatoes, and are hoping that the final harvest of green ones will ripen a bit as well.
We were lucky to have a friend bring his tractor down to move old goat poop for compost and dig out grass that was encroaching the beds. Next year will be even better.
