The Homestead Garden

We are in our second year of gardening here at the new house and I feel like we are getting the hang of things!

100% adding BEES has helped us see a huge improvement in our produce yields, especially with squash plants! Even with our late start this year (Pill bugs kept attacking everything, I took care of them with some beer traps) we’re seeing a lot of growth.

I also love our raised garden beds from Vego Garden. I’m putting in a couple more next week, and hopefully we will have time soon to get the greenhouse built!

Two volunteer squash plants here, cucumber and some sort of melon

We used some old coffee bags as weed blockers around the bee hives. We have two this year and I’m hoping to add about 6 more over the next few years

I’m really excited about pushing this garden out even more. With the freeze dryers we’re able to store some a lot of produce for the winter, which gives me even more of an excuse to keep growing!
