one of our market gardens (pics)

DH & I decided we needed some new pics for our farm website, so we took these of one of the market gardens a couple mornings ago.

All overall shot

Lettuces, Spinach, Swiss Chard, Potatoes

Cole crops - Cauliflower, Broccoli, Green and Purple Cabbages. We've already harvested the first planting of these (to right, out of view) and reseeded in squashes and zucchinis.

Buttercrunch Lettuce, Swiss Chard - a second planting, we've already been harvesting these crops from another garden area. I'm transplanting some of this Chard today to get it thinned out

Black Seeded Simpson - also a second planting

Last Fall's Bok Choy reseeded itself in the Mesculin patch - love it when stuff like that happens

Beds of Heirloom tomatoes

Thank you All! Nice to know it looks good to others. :happy_flower

Steve - there are 2 more market gardens. The second is about 3/4 the size. The third is much smaller with 4 raised beds about (3' x 10' each) and a 10' x 15' plot for early cucumbers or other viney things in some years.

Here's a pic from last year of the other larger garden showing DH flanked by sunflowers and corn. LOL...with butternut squash and cantalope at his feet. (I don't have a pic of it from this year.)

4grandbabies - it's only DH & I here. We spend a lot of time working. No worries, the market customers won't get it all. We eat all we possibly can fresh and then can, freeze, etc. The only veggies we buy in Winter are occasional salad ingredients.
