It's been awhile since I posted, because a lot has been going on! We moved at the end of May, and within a week we created two 16' x 4' raised beds in our backyard. It's currently planted with 16 tomato plants (the seedlings I started plus 6 heirloom plants we picked up at the farmers market, lots of basil and parsley, as well as some lettuce, sage, thyme, and garlic chives. Some little critter, likely a chipmunk, has eaten most of the parsley though. I'll have to plant that in containers.
We saw our first tomato blossom today!
An on again, off again journal of my gardening exploits. Starting on an apartment balcony in 2009, we created "Gross Farms" in our backyard on a small lot in Wauwatosa, WI. 2014 and 2015 were successful years for Gross Farms 2.0 in Oconomowoc, WI. Now we live in the tiny town of Kroghville, WI and are embarking on Gross Farms 3.0—bigger and better than ever!
