I got all of my plants in the ground – wrapping up planting today. All organic seed, all raised by me in my basement and all hand-planted.
Granted, the garden doesn’t look like much right now but give it a few weeks and the size and shape of every plant will change as they fill in their spaces!
All my plants are in the garden and ready to grow.
Here’s the inventory! And, instead of talking about them, here are pictures of the newly transplanted, beautiful babies.

Oh, and my thornless blackberries are growing and greening up! And right below them, my gorgeous blueberries are covered with flowers. Planted once, harvest every year for 20 years+ – organic gardening really is easy!

Every flower on every blueberry bush becomes a blueberry — 60 quarts every summer.
