I have resigned myself to the fact that I won't be on top of my garden this year and you know what that is fine with me. I have two newborn babies to snuggle up to and enjoy every minute and I think this first year will fly by way too quickly for me. After all, I can't believe Niklas and Jacob are already 3 weeks old.
This week I managed to do some work in the garden. I spend an hour in the morning weeding the peas and onions and getting rid of the biggest weeds in the strawberry field. I also had some help to level out the area where I want to set up more raised beds in the fall (or earlier depending how much time I get for that).
I harvested the first strawberries, which went straight in my mouth. Oh I can't wait to have the boys do the same thing. My cucumbers are coming out slowly and I need to put more radish in the ground. I am so looking forward now that June is here, I hope we get some warmer weather now, so that I am hopefully able to spend and hour each morning out in the garden.
I bought a new blueberry bush today (bringing the total of blueberry bushed to 3), which I will plant later today or tomorrow. It will be a while before they are mature but that's ok.
Looks great!
ReplyDeleteOh it's looking fantastic- especially given you have three week old twins! And hurrah for the first strawberries of the year may there be many more to come!
ReplyDeleteI love how you are using every inch of your spare space to grow. I keep feeling like my family may end up doing the urban homesteading deal if we aren't able to find a bigger piece of land for a good price...where we need it. So encouraging to find other people that are still living so wholesomely and green right where they are in the middle of a neighborhood. Looks great...glad I found your blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words Alyssa, for me it too is important to raise what I can, while I wait to be able to buy a piece of land and we are not that Urban, there are just about 200 people living in the village that I live in :)
