So I have not been around here in a while. It was winter and I do not spend a lot of time outside when it is cold. I planted broccoli, cauliflower and spinach as my winter crops. However all of the broccoli and cauliflower sprouted just as they started forming heads. I do not know why it does that since I followed the instructions of planting to a Tee. We have been eating spinach from the garden at least.
Now that Spring is here I am back in all earnest. I already planted carrots, beans, patty pan squash, butternut, tomatoes, corn, cucumber, lettuce and some radish. Will keep you updated on how its growing.

corn, green pepper, chillies basil - growing in the garden
17 march 2011
On Tuesday evening, 15 March 2011, I harvested carrots, basil, chillies, corn and a green pepper. This was all that I needed for dinner that night. I have lots of green peppers, spinach carrots some and different herbs currently growing in the garden. I lost out on some of the corn cobs because I was unsure of when to harvest. My guess is they were ready about 2 month ago, but when I wanted to pick them my husband said no it is not ready yet..
Lesson learnt…do not listen to hubby.
I have planted broccoli, peas, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts seeds in trays. Beets and garlic I have planted directly into the garden and am waiting with bated breath to see if the beets are going to germinate or at least produce. Since I have been sowing beetroot, not one beet has grown to maturity.

Corn and butternut harvest
On Saturday, 05/03/2011, I harvested corn and a butternut. It was only one butternut because the other one was attacked by pests and I have one plant. There is still one flower on the plant, but I am not sure if it will still produce another butternut.
The corn was just delicious and 2 of them I almost left too late on the plant and some of the kernels started going brown.
I transplanted my first batch of cauliflower seedlings and planted brussels sprouts, jalapeno peppers and some more cauliflower.
