High Desert Gardening

So I made the leap and planted some greens outside. It’s a little risky this time of year. So I am also giving my babies a little blanket at night.

So we planted our first outside seeds this weekend. We have planted radishes, carrots, peas, leeks, onions, cilantro, scallions, beats, and califlower.

Of course I bought cauliflower and broccoli plants that we put out as well. I don’t know how well they will due. It depends on if it stays warm or not. Of course it is windy too.

We added compost to the beds but decided not to fill them mostly due to cost. I will be filling them up over time with compost anyway. BK has been very helpful and has taken a real interest in the garden. The boys helped for about five minutes and then lost interest.

I took BK to the store and let her pick out some of her own seeds and we are going to dig her a small beg of her own to take care of.
