Quick peek in the garden

Posted by on Jun 13 2010 | family, food, home

Oh, our garden is growing beautifully! What a joy it is to see the garden thriving after last year’s disappointment. The new location is working wonders as now the plants gets sun light for most of the day. We’re not so sure yet about the quality of the soil as some plants seem to be doing better than others, but at least everything seems to be growing. We’ve already treated ourselves to some lettuce leaves and tender beet greens. The potatoes leaves are starting to emerge and two little tomatoes are on their way too. Can’t wait!

Ah, a nossa horta está indo de vento em popa! Que alegria que é ver as palntas crescerem depois da decepção do ano passado. A nova localização do canteiro está fazendo toda a diferença e agora as plantas recebem a luz do sol pela maior do dia. Ainda não estamos seguros quanto a qualidade do solo pois algumas plantas parecem estar indo melhor que as outras, mas pelo menos todas estão crescendo. Nós já nos servimos de algumas folhas de alface e folhas de beterraba também. As batatas estão começando a aparecer e dois tomatinhos estão a caminho. Mal podemos esperar!

  2. Looks fantastic – I’m jealous of your beets! We had bad luck last year too – hopefully this summer will be a better one for gardens!
