My Edible Garden

I've been gardening for most of my life and have been a devoted fan of organic gardening the whole time. It just makes so much more sense to work in harmony with Mother Nature than to fight her. Besides which it is better for the planet and better for our bodies. Here you can see what I'm planting and harvesting, with gardening hints and resources thrown in for good measure.

Cute little Pinto Bean, Bambi’s daughter

 Little Bean is now 7 months old but compared to her mom Bambi she still looks a little bit small so I probably won't breed her until next year.


Even though we have gone to just one milking a day Bambi is still giving me 6 pints of milk!



There hasn't been a lot of rain this year, but there have been some pretty sunsets


 These Armenian cucumbers have been struggling for awhile.


So they came out so I can prep these beds for fall / winter greens


This week just a few tomatoes and the last of the cucumbers.


I emptied a compost pile

 And spread it on a bed, getting ready for fall planting.

 
Can you see the coyote? This is a young one that comes and plays in the creek.







Have had some pretty good days at the Globe-Miami Farmers Market. Just one market left, then I'll be going to the Superior Farmers Market over the winter.


Miss Esmarelda is the only girl I"m planning to breed this fall, just trying to decide if I want to breed her to kid mid-March or early April. I don't want kids later than that because we get so hot.
