This post is very photo heavy. You've been warned!

I go from thinking we don't have enough room and vegetables to being completely overwhelmed by how much we will have if everything grows well. Add nearly a dozen eggs a day on top of that and there will be a lot of food!

I've already got ideas for next year. I'd really like to grow asparagus. I didn't think it was cold enough but our favorite master gardener said it does. He's the expert! I really want to try and grow peanuts even if it's just a plant or two and cranberries. I joke with Scribs that our feild turns into a bog in the winter anyways. I'm also thinking about a fence next year to keep the rabbits out. I know they're going to have a feast once everything starts coming up, but as soon as I put a fence up I'm going to want to expand the garden.

Now I'm just getting ahead of myself. The next step for me is keeping everything healthy. Most of the vegetables like nitrogen and coffee is a good source. Vegetables like coffee? We are so the same!
I've also been doing mini-trench composting between plants to amend the soil. Our soil turns very hard when it dries. I'm talking you could build a house out of it. Like bricks.

I'm in full on battle mode with the slugs. Those little jerks are eating EVERYTHING. I've tried beer with not great results, copper nothing. I've moved on to Sluggo, everyone seems to be singing it's praises. We'll see. So far I've been picking them up (gross!) and feeding them to the ducks.
