Got our garlic on



The garden today. The garlic is up and growing (and thanks to our old Italian man friend from down the road who gave us a kilo of garden bulbs to plant in exchange for our recycled beer bottles - who said drinking didn't pay off??). The salad greens (lettuces, mizuna and the like) and the brassicas are all coming along too. Picked our first broccoli yesterday - they are huge!!! Well worth all the soil preparation and the daily search and destroy routine for removing those pesky green catters... And I'm pretty happy with our kale - it's delicious and easy to grow.

Getting there

The garden a few weeks ago. It's slowly coming along - each weekend brings us a little closer to our goals of having a beautiful and productive garden... on a budget! This is our first post in 2 years, and while I am not sure how dedicated we will be to keeping this blog a little more regularly loved, I just felt the time was right to begin again.
