The name of my Garden
Sunflowers, caged to protect them from critters
This year I plan on doing items that I know aren't usual in my farm share or items that we use and enjoy a lot of. I plan on doing more canning this year.
Vegetables we wish were more plentiful
Cucumbers
Beans both Fresh and Dry
Swiss Chard
Spinach
Rabe
Tomatos, but my starts aren't starting, so I will probably buy from local organic farm where I have my chicken share.
Squash
I also enjoy seeing, smelling and bringing into the house many flowers.
All seeds were purchased during sales last year. All are heirloom, organic seeds. I did place one small order last month with Rohrer Seeds. They are in Lancaster County PA, and have many locally harvested seeds.
I also like Botanical Interests, Stark Bros for our fruit bushes/trees and ornamentals,
horseradish and rhubarb
What is rabe bekiw? What critters would eat the sunflowers? I know birds and squirrels might like the sunflower seeds.
ReplyDeletei have know idea where bekiw came from, lol. Chipmunks will munch down my sunflowers until their stalks are full width.
