More Veggies Please

Last year's summer was so wet some of my root vegetables rotted in the ground.  So I decided to put something a bit more water loving in that area.  I have celery seeds sprouting in the basement and hope to transplant them soon.

Since I've companion planted radishes to shoo the squash bugs, I hope to have zucchini, cucumber and butternut again this year, which will take up a lot of square footage.  After checking with hubby to make sure he would not mind not mowing this little patch of ground between the sidewalks, I got my garden fork and ripped up the turf.  That took several days of pulling up a little at a time.  One brave American Robin had a great grub buffet as I tossed the little buggers onto the driveway.  


My new approximately 140 square foot veggie bed currently has kale, corn salad, beets, carrots, parsnips and onions.
