Veggie garden in full swing

After a morning walk along the river, (Hi to Lisa on her new bike!) we had a garden planting day!

In raised bed #1, we planted 3 violas and 2 pansies. Behind that in bed #2, we added chocolate mint to the rhubarb and potatoes.

In bed #4, we planted 6 broccoli, 2 sage, 2 rosemary, 2 collard plants, and 6 purple cabbages.

Next door in bed #5, we transplanted the garlic to bed#7 and then planted Chinese cabbage, sage, thyme, and mint.

To Flower box #6, we added lemon balm. To raised bed #7, we planted parsley and garden mint.

Bed #8, got 2 citrus mints, while #9 got a curly kale and 3 eggplants.

Mini beds #10 got the transplanted chives and #12 got a Russian kale.

Back beds #11 got 2 runner beans and #13 got chives.

We also finally planted the magnolia tree and purchased beauty bark for the front garden.

We finished up the day by having our first BBQ of the season: BBQ chicken, green beans (thanks Lisa), and baked potatoes with sour cream and chives (from the garden!)
