New Addition to the Garden

This is the new section of the garden this year.  The largest part is where the shed used to sit.  We moved it and turned the soil and extended it out a little to meet the steps going down to the second tier of the back yard.  It get a lot a shade from the Bartlett Pear tree, so I planted things that will, hopefully, do well in partial shade-- radishes, onions, spinach, beets and brussel sprouts.  I also put in a couple of egg plant bushes in the area by the steps that gets the most sun.


Here is a shot of the little onion plants.  In all, there are 120 onions planted in this year's garden.

If you look hard you can see the new radish sprouts at the top left of the picture running to the bottom right of the picture.  The spinach has germinated too, but you really can't see it yet.  The grey tub in the back of this picture is the new worm farm.  So far, so good.
