Yummy Lettuce at Bergan Farm

What's growing at Bergan Farms?

Arugula LOVES my yard. It is growing like a weed. I will have many seeds so I'll pass them on to you.

Cilantro also LOVES my yard. I always have great luck with it. I heart Cilantro. I have to say that one of my favorite time of day is when I'm cooking dinner and I walk out with a pair of scissors to my garden and cut this and that. What a wonderful life! I have other pictures that I will post soon. Farmer T signing off.

my beds

Here are some pictures of my planter beds. Finally got around to taking pictures. :)

One of my little blueberry bushes in back (we have a handful of blueberries growing on our 3 small plants...it's funny how giddy we are about the 15 or so berries we'll probably get this year! A few years down the road it will be even more exciting)...also a few strawberries and some cantaloupe sprouts that I'll have grow out to the left.
Along this fence I planted new blackberries and raspberries, as well as some transplants from another area of my yard. Hope to eventually have tons of berries growing on this fence. :)
One of my grapes that is almost ready to reach the cables!
This is my tomato bed...red cherry tomatoes and yellow pear.
Some of the plants are really tiny, but I have cucumber, beets, eggplants, red and green peppers, radishes and jalapenos.
Here's my long planter bed...on the closest side I have carrots, lettuce on the left, romaine on the right and celery(used some in my chicken salad yesterday) and swiss chard in the middle....

...here's the other end....on the side closest I have zucchini, tomatillo, red onions, scallions, green beans and peas.

Happy gardening!

Fava Bean Harvest

So yesterday I decided to harvest all my fava beans. Took some time shelling them and I'm happy to say I got quite a lot from my crop! :) Going to use them in dinner tonight and tomorrow. It is so delightful to grow something in the garden and get to use it in your meal!! I was also happy to free up a ton of space because the favas were taking over more than half of one of my planter beds. I planted some roma tomato seeds there, a yellow squash and some more herbs. Did a lot of plant thinning as well. I do have a lot more yellow pear tomatoes, eggplants, and jalapenos growing than I need. I'm letting them grow bigger and then if anyone would like some I can do my best to carefully dig them up and you can try and transplant them in your garden. Just let me know.
