Well after a bit of deliberation and discussion, the new name for garden has been determined. We decided on the "Lucky Garden" and we added a French translation by calling it "Jardin Chance". Why did we decide on the change? Why did we change? Basically, we wanted something that was original and inspired collaboratively between us. The reason for the name "lucky garden" is because we feel lucky to have great southern exposure, fertile soil, and water on our property. While we struggle with our elevation and latitude, we gifted with water, soil, and aspect. The French twist comes from the expression used by many of our Homer friends that appreciate the life we have and remember not to take it for granted. "Nous auont chancons du putain"
I am attaching a picture of our garlic. I have failed to mention this in the last few posts. This year we have 80 plants growing. We are trying to figure out which varieties will perform the best. So far Purple Glazers, Siberian, and German Porcelains are growing the best.
This week I planted several three inch red cabbages. I have never planted a brassica this late. I received an email today that friend had 100 red cabbage starts. I took several to the school and planted a few in our garden and hoop house. Gardening is one big science experiment, it will be interesting to see how they make out. Garden on!
