Hilltop Plot

Just got back from our garden at Lindsay's mom's house. I tried to construct a cold frame to start my cucumbers in. I put about 25 peat pots in it filled with dirt and seed in hopes that they will grow big enough by the magical frost free date- May 15th. That is if they're viable at all- the cuke seeds themselves are over 5 years old. Good news- the peas we planted have sprouted as well as the beets and radishes and the garlic still seems to be growing strong.

Here's a beet sprout from our back porch that I forgot to include in my last post

The full view of the Hilltop Plot (the compost bin sits at the south side):


Pea/Bean poles and my gnome, David. He keeps the garden real.

The garlic bed we planted in October. 34 cloves = 34 bulbs = 4 bulbs to cook and 180 cloves to plant this October!

An onion set. Fingers crossed.

My new cold-frame filled with cucumber seeds. Some garden art and a bucket full of garden rocks. This cold frame is expecting it's first storm tonight.
