We also had our first harvest of our second round of spinach! While a few of the plants have gone to seed already, most of them are quite happy in the shade!
Our journey to producing more and consuming less on 1/8 acre in the middle of the city. Urban farming, through keeping backyard chickens and a top bar hive of honey bees, practicing organic vegetable gardening, taking care of several fruit trees, maintaining a compost pile, canning and preserving our harvests and trying our best to do it all ourselves using reclaimed materials where possible.

Your carrots look so nice! And your onions look great too!!
ReplyDeleteYour spinach, carrots & onions look great.
ReplyDeletePretty carrots. Great onions. Love the colors in your harvest. Can't believe your still getting peas.
ReplyDeleteOh what pretty carrots. I love the different carrot colors. I still haven't found one that is as good tasting for fresh eating as the orange ones though.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I'm glad for a little variety and color :-)
ReplyDeleteShawn Ann - I've found a spot in the garden that gets almost no sun, but lots of heat...the peas seem to love it there! I'm even thinking about doing a third planting!
Daphne - I am newly in love with my purple carrots! This is the first year I've succeeded in growing them and I couldn't be happier!
Pretty colors! Hooray for onions!
