Our first winter garden with our new raised beds was fabulous. We have 10 raised beds, and we thought we would never fill them all. How wrong we were, we could use double even triple!!Elin chose flowers for hers, along with spinach, here they are towards the end of the season.
Jackson chose several varieties of onions, here they are (bed to the left)
We planted several varieties of orange carrots, along with red, white and yellow carrots. The red and white were beautiful, but kind of spicy and tough.
The yellow and orange were delicious!!
Our two artichokes produced far more than the average 24 per plant, even with the one being totally engulfed by the other. We are letting about 20 go to flower, since they have become too ripe to enjoy. The furry stuff inside starts to take over and there is less and less of the flesh and heart. But when they were in their prime, we had 4-6 a night, plus many to give away. Delish!!
Strawberries are struggling this year, and I finally found the culprit - ants!! I found some natural remedies, including a spicy garlic spray, so I'll give it a try
Despite our massive pruning, we had another excessive plum crop this year!
Elin and I harvested many potatoes. Nothing like freshly dug up potatoes, baked in the oven (at 450) with olive oil and seasonings!!
