Summer Garden 2017

Recently we made our summer garden. First, we prepared the soil by taking out all of the weeds and making nice, deep beds for our vegetables.

We are doing an experiment with two kinds of organic fertilizer. We want to see which fertilizers helps our vegetables grow better. The first kind of fertilizer is made from pine needles and bamboo ash.

The second is made from pine needles. We used it last year and it worked really well.

Finally, we planted a LOT of different vegetables: cucumber, tomatoes, green pepper, eggplant, zucchini, lettuce, corn, carrots, spicy red pepper, and okra. We're looking forward to enjoying these vegetables over the summer.

If you are nearby, feel free to take a walk through our garden.

It is difficult to observe vegetables because of  a large pool in the garden!
