June garden pics

Some pictures of my 3 garden beds. Each one is 4'x8'. Middle one is 8" high and others are 6".

Chinese Five Color Pepper

It is a heirloom pepper that I grew from seed. Two of them survived the move. The peppers are supposed to change to five different colors as they ripen. The package didn't say that it had purple flowers. So far, it's the only pepper I've grown that doesn't have white blooms.

We've moved!

We have moved into a home built in 1913 that now sits on a decent sized lot. While working on the house and moving, I lost about half of my seed starts. There just wasn't enough time in the day to do it all. The good news is that I can try again next year. I have big plans on expanding the new garden which is already larger than last years. This is a picture of my new layout and land. Three raised beds that were double dug. Each bed is 4 x 8 feet.
