Farmer Joel

The status of the garden changes many times a day as Joel is busily planting, moving and constructing. With the promise of freezing weather at night slowly decreasing, most of the crops that have enjoyed being scattered throughout the house and garage are being transplanted outside. With the drought restrictions on secondary water use for lawns, several towns around us have put similar limitation on watering of gardens. I’ll let Joel worry about that … all I can say is that if we have to water the garden with culinary water, that’s gonna make for some pretty expensive veggies …

Potato Tower – Year 2
Kohlrabi and Kale – first to get planted.
Struggling rhubarb – transplanted from New Ulm and moved a couple times around our yard to try and get it to grow. Joel doesn’t have the heart to dig it out!
Tomatoes which will be put in our neighbor’s garden as they chose not to plant anything this year.
Peas, bok choy, nappa cabbage, beets and tomoatoes
Spinach and Arugula – already picking these greens for salads.
Spring onions transplanted from New Ulm, MN, 13 years ago!
