They's a-Growin'!

So since I know you are so riveted by our life... *enter sarcastic eye roll here*... I thought I'd give you a little update on our straw bale venture.

It's working.....!!!!!!!!!!

 Green Beans...

Tomatoes...

Squash, Zucchini, Peppers...

Peas, Kale, Cucumbers

Cabbage... (Can you see them??)

Herbs, Kale, Peas, Lettuce and Onions....

Can you tell I'm a little excited?? Things are popping up all over the place and we're gonna have some good food in just a little while!

What have we been doing to maintain? Weeding? NOPE!

Watering? YES.

We've had some good rain here over the last few weeks and I used that as an excuse to not water, but apparently, straw doesn't absorb and keep water like the ground would. It dries out much easier so it really is a water-almost-everyday type of venture. Hence, the soaker hoses buried under the dirt and the downside for those of us who live in town and not on well water anymore, a higher water bill.

So you take the good with the bad, I think I'm just excited about not buying produce at the store for awhile.

How does YOUR garden grow?
