Cukes, Zukes, Tomatoes, Strawberries, Green Beans, Herbs!! The raspberry and blackberry bushes are growing nicely, and maybe maybe MAYBE we'll see a raspberry or two by the end of the season, but I'm not sure. 
Tonight we'll be using a bunch of our flat leaf parsley in a marinade for chicken and grilling in the backyard. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Oh, and if you have organic solutions for anything, please feel free to give advice!
My poor lettuce is being eaten! I'll continue researching organic solutions for that today. Also, we'll be training the green beans now that they're getting taller and the tomato plants are higher than their cages already!
The boys and I love going out each morning to water and discover what is growing. Going to the supermarket to purchase fruit and veggies has taken on a whole new learning opportunity... where did the lettuce grow? Is it organic? Why can't we buy ___ now and why is there so much of ___ at the store?

Your garden looks amazing!!! Great work!
ReplyDeleteve you tried buying some lady bugs at your local garden store? They love to eat those lettuce eating bugs. They are fairly cheap too.
ReplyDeleteI don't for sure that it's organic...but I heard you can mix a little dish soap with water and spray it on the plants, once the hottest part of the day is past (or well before it, you just don't want the leaves to scorch) and that will repel bugs...and then when you bring your veggies in and rinse them it all get's rinsed away...plus it's a very mild soap solution...just a few parts soap to a whole spray bottle of water...I imagine you could use organic soap, and this would make it a completely organic solution...I've heard of one other, but I don't remember it, but if you check out the thrifty family's section on diaperswappers.com...I bet you'll be able to find something. :D Your garden is beautiful! It makes me want to go work on mine!
