Urban Sustainable Living - May 10 pt2

Late May update showing the changes in the raised beds in just a few weeks. Always amazed how quick things can grow with a little sunshine and water. See below for comparison. We are getting all we can eat lettuce, and daily portions of black berries, zucchini, and green beans. Crook neck squash, tomatoes, okra, cucumbers, and plumbs are fruiting well so we should be picking those soon too!

Urban Sustainable Living - May 10

Little early May update. The beans are really taking off as well as the lettuce, plumbs, black berries, zucchini and squash. And the potatoes are doing better than hoped. We'll have to see how they fair once the summer heat kicks in. The chicks are about 2/3 the size of the adult bantams now, but they'll still need a little more weight before we let them loose with the grown ups. The girls commented on our "green" look with our recycled coffee cans, clay roofing tiles and old tires. Beth knows it's mostly because I'm cheep, but being environmentally conscious is good too. :)
