Front Bed

Front Bed: catnip and chives May W2 (you can't see it bit there's a bush hiding behind the catnip!)

• strawberries (also up our front sidewalk 28 sq ft)
• catnip (from last year) it's going crazy!  Mr cat has many visitors.
• chives (helper from last year)
• chamomile (helper from last year)
• 4 Violet Queen Broccoli plants
• lavender

Container Garden

Our stevia plant that survived from last year

• Stevia our plant from last year died and gave birth.  I thought our plant was dead and left the container outside this spring to replant in the container.  I never did and noticed a plant growing, since it was outside I assumed it was a weed, but I thought what if it was Stevia?  You never know I thought so I let it grow until I could tell what it was and what do ya know it was!  Yea!  I hope the same thing happens next year.
• Mint, Lemon balm, lettuce, basil, cilantro all planted a week ago.  I'm keeping them indoors until they start to grow so that squirrels don't dig in our pots before the plants are established.  Last year I had just planted all my containers only to see that squirrels had dug them all up! I know better now.

Back Yard

New Garden Bed
We have been doing all our garden expansions in the backyard this year.  We tore up our only sunny part of our lawn (removed the sod that was there) in our shady backyard to create a new garden bed with a brick mow row.  We increased our gardening space by about 15-20 sq ft.  I just finished it about a week ago and planted pumpkins, spaghetti squash, zucchini, early yellow squash, more lettuce, cabbage, 1 brussel sprout plant, cucumbers, and a mystery plant (it came attached to a seedling I bought at the farmer's market I'm thinking it's a cabbage).  Some of our pumpkins and zucchinis are starting to grow.  I wasn't sure if they would because I could tell squirrels had found the seeds.  It will be interesting to see if there will be enough sun to grow warm weathered full sun veggies here, since it is the sunniest spot in our back yard but is still shaded to some degree.  I plan to try to trim our tree nearby to help ensure they grow on the next cool day that I'm bored (which probably won't be for awhile!) .  I figure it's worth a shot to try since we have a fence there already it already has a built in trellis so that would be the perfect spot if it gets enough sun. 

Our new garden bed

Side Bed
In our side garden bed we have rhubarb, onions, asparagus, and we still have about 1 sq ft open, which I will probably transplant some tomato plants into (along with containers) since we have a lot of tomato helpers.  I planted leeks but I don't think they are growing.  I've already harvested some rhubarb.

Concrete Raised Bed

Our mustard seedlings and new strawberry transplants June W1

Our Compost Helpers
I wrote about our new concrete raised bed here a few weeks ago.  We used most of our compost pile (finished and not finished compost) to fill the bed along with 12 bags of compost from the store.  Since not all of the compost was finished we had some helpers.  Some were wanted some not wanted.  The ones that were wanted were lots of tomato plants, which are cool but where will I put them all?  I haven't even counted them all.  That's how many there are.  I doubt they'd all be OK in the concrete bed, would I have room in our new garden bed?  I do have room for 1 or 2 on our side bed, since we have sq ft that's all weeds and I've been to lazy to deal with (yea my laziness pays off).  Maybe large containers?  Tune in this month to find out. 

Concrete Bed: Brussel Sprout Seedlings and strawberries June W1

Long Term Plans for Our Concrete Bed
Since our concrete bed is near our two maple trees, this bed will get bombarded with maple seeds, I'm already constantly pulling out tree seedlings.  I can see this will become a pain in the but.  My solution?  Plant strawberries, and leafy veggies that grow like weeds and let them take over.  Judging by how our strawberries took over every square inch last year and self mulched I can only assume that next spring I should have a huge strawberry harvest without much effort (not even much weeding) with the possibility of mustard and arugula too.

Concrete Bed: Kale seedlings June W1

What we Planted this Year in our Concrete Bed

• Mustard it's growing like a weed.  This is our first year growing, I believe it to be like arugula easy to grow, aggressive self seeder, and most likely to be frost tolerant. 
• Spinach
• Kale
• Brussel Sprouts My husband mentioned doubts about whether there would be enough space for the roots of brussel sprouts (of course he mentions this after I planted already).  I honestly hadn't thought about it.  There is most likely 1-2 ft of "dirt" (see post on making our concrete bed).  Is it enough?  We'll find out I guess.  We have some in our front garden, so if they don't grow no big deal.
• Tomatoes too many helpers to count! 

Containers

Our potatoes are doing well in our build as you go bin.  June W1

We also have potatoes in a potato bin I built.  They're already bigger than they got all last year!  I even have to buy more compost and boards to build up.

Our wooden container Left to right: cabbage, romaine, red leaf lettuce, and Bok choy June week 1

I  also built a cedar box last year and plan to make another one this year.  In the one we made last year we have cabbage, red lettuce, arugula, romaine lettuce, cabbage, and bok choy. I should have thinned them out, but didn't.  I am waiting to see if I can transplant some elsewhere in our garden where we have empty spots.
