Shadows & The Garden

A beautiful morning! Husband watering the garden with a bunch of freshly picked tomatoes collected in his shirt –

Wife in the kitchen making breakfast

Simple bowls of yogurt, berries, banana, chia and puffed brown rice.

Iced coffee concentrate with milk + water. A little weak today!

Too much milk counters the bold.

Have a beautiful day!

    Your garden is insane!! You must not have any bunnies coming through snacking on the veg. I’m pretty sure a bunny lives in our backyard and feasts all day long.

          It really does look great, Kath. What’s planted in the middle bed? You might have given the layout before, but I didn’t see it.
          Do you happen to know how high the sides of your raised beds are? And did Matt put weed mat underneath the soil or just leave it bare? Does he water by hand all the time or do you use a sprinkler or drip hose?
          I’m asking because it is my first year with raised beds and I’m thinking my soil is not deep enough and I think the drip hose I’ve been using is not the optimal thing to water with. Just trying to educate myself before next summer!
          I am having some success, just not enough! Thanks in advance.

            The middle bed is all the greens, but I’m about to take them all out and plant some fall veggies. The beds are made from 12″ wide planks. I just put the beds right on top of the grass (after digging the edges to make the beds level) and then we put compost right on top of the grass. Now I wish I had taken the time to pull the grass out because I have some plants that just don’t have strong enough roots to hold themselves up and I suspect that they’re reaching the grass layer and unable to grow their roots deep enough, quickly enough. But the problem will eventually correct itself. I try to water with regularity, a deep soaking every few days.

        Seriously, you have no rabbits? There are hundreds (probably more) in our neighborhood.

    That does sound like a perfect start! I have been eating tons of chia seeds lately (mostly in smoothies and overnight oats) but just can’t seem to do them on top of bowls like the one you made because I get SO many stuck in my teeth! I swear, I go through floss faster than a dentist!! Have an awesome day Kath! 🙂

    Kath your garden is beautiful! I have a friend with a backyard garden, and it always amazes me how lush it is! I hope you are getting some of the same rain we are getting in Nashville to replenish your veggies. All we have is a tomato plant my mom gave to my husband because she was about to throw it away, so it’s a bit anemic and didn’t like the recent heat. But we’ve still got some hanging on for dear life! Sounds like yours are doing alright though.

    I also like the coffee concentrate by itself. I just add lots of ice and have a small cup of it, instead of adding milk or water to make it regular-sized.
