Front section

First update of the year! There hasn't been too much work done in the garden due to everyone getting sick and life in general.

Row 1- Pumpkins! we 've finally gotten a pumpkin! I'll post a picture of it towards the end

Row2- carrots and radish. Carrots are sweeter in the winter due to turning starches into sugars

Row 3- the okra will be ready to harvest seeds soon, in front of it is the nasturtiums we planted. On the back side is peas.

Full rows

Rows 4,3,2,1 from left to right

Close up of the nasturtiums the little red parts on the left side of the plant will be red blossoms in a few days!

The arrow is pointing at the pumpkin that's growing, it's our first one!

I know I promised an update way earlier, have been dealing with a chronic pain/illness problem.

Past that We are still in the process of revamping both front and backyard to try and get the most produce/product from the space we have available.

Row #1- we have lambs quarter, Kale, lettus and a sunflower. We are in the process of letting the lettus and kale seed so we can use that seed for next year.

Row #2- peas on The tomato cages that are finally getting some flowers so we should be seeing some actual pods soon! There are carrots seeded in as well.

Row #3- raddish and beets that we are letting go to seed as well as some Kale that was sprinkled in.

Row #4- sunflowers

Future rows #5-9 w/ a tiny view of the flower bed. The flower bed has canna lillies and is horribly over grown w/ weeds right now we plan on tarping off all these areas and are in the process of figuring out how we want the beds to sit in the yard.

The mint bed, I gotta try to come in and weed it out but the mints done a good job of taking over the space it's in. We had to remove the mother pot to do some work so I was worried I was going to lose the mint.

The tiny peppers! I'm hoping for it to flourish enough that I can graft out some branches to grow some new ones. (We like to make spicy oils for gifts and cooking)

I am honestly forgetting what this is right now but its growing in the same bed as the mint. I'll have a name with the next update but it's either a parsley or cilantro.

One of the 2 fig trees has figs growing on it, we've gotten 2 edible figs from this one so far!

Pepper pot, the pepper survives another week. There's also Salvia and Marigolds.

Row 1 - there are some sunflowers at the end but we are going to put Armanian cucumbers in this row to try and smother out the grass w/out the aid of a tarp.

Row 2 - peas and unknown squash. These will be bare at the end of the day to make way for the next crop rotation.

Row 3 - has been emptied to make way for the next crops.

Row 3- empty

Row4 - sunflowers, Michillin cabbage, we are in the process of removing to prep for this season. There is also chard and kale in the back side

Row 5 - Michillin cabbage, Broccoli.

Row 5 - Michillin cabbage, Broccoli

Row 10/potted row - not very good pics in this part of the update since I will be adding more pots this week but the Moringa tree and fig tree are still alive.

Row 11/the flower row- we're starting to see some green that isn't weeds. There's Canna's and Holy hocks and I believe we have some gladiolas currently but we plan on more being added this or next week.

Big pot closest to front there has Marigolds, non Bermuda grass and another flower growing in it.

Close up of the Moringa tree and the fig. Larger fig in background along with the dragon fruit thats struggling to grow. Extra Marigolds growing in all the pots to help with pollination attractants and just because I think they look nice.

Bell pepper pot, it's gotten some blossoms but no peppers yet. Also has Salvia and Marigolds growing in it for added bee attractants.
