Garden is planted!

It might have been a little early, but I had an appointment cancel on me this morning so I rolled up my sleeves and got everything planted. If we have a cold snap, I'm going to cover the garden in dead leaves and hope that the frost doesn't kill any baby plants, but we'll see how this method works.

Garden #1: Upper Garden nearest the Fody's front door
  1. Carrots - lots of carrots
  2. Banana Peppers
  3. Hot Portugal Peppers
  4. Parsley
  5. Cilantro 
  6. Basil

Garden #2: Upper Garden nearest our side door
  1. Asparagus - Year 2
  2. Mixed Greens - Year 2 (may need to supplement with some new plants, but waiting to see how well the old ones do after cutting them back last weekend)
  3. Red Onions
  4. Green Onions
Garden #3: Lower Garden, nearest the Fodys - this one has never previously had squash, so I'm hoping it might keep the vine borers at bay
  1. Cucumbers
  2. Yellow Squash
  3. White Squash
  4. Zucchini
Garden #4: Lower Garden, middle of the yard - I saw vine borer grubs in the dirt today! and there have been no squash in this garden for at least the last 2 years!
  1. Purple Prudens Tomatoes
  2. Grape Tomatoes
  3. Purple Tomatillos
  4. Pink Mini Corn
