Lea Urban Farming: I'm a planting fool

Yesterday I posted about the things I had planted, so today I took some pics of what's growing already and what I did yesterday and today. I have a couple pots out in the front yard that I simply dumped some random seeds into.

They had fallen out of their packages and ended up at the bottom of the bowl I was storing them in. What's growing out of the pots are cucumbers and watermelon. They are doing great! I am letting them just spill over the edges and do their thing. I'm already growing watermelon and cucumbers in

I planted basil along the back fence on either side of my herb box near my clothes line

Fennel and chamomile planted around the blackberry barrel.

Australian Violets all along the fence

This is our newest plot....well half of it. The other half is in the shade and I plan to plant lettuce there. It gets very hot here in the summer, so it will grow well in the shadey spot. I made a quirky little path along the side and through it. It's not level and I plan to leave it that way. In this plot we have beans, peas, popcorn, red acre cabbage, brunswick cabbage, parsnips, carrots, beets, radishes and some more herbs such as oregano, thyme and chamomile

I had two extra strawberries from the small patch I planted in the side garden so I placed them in a container. They are doing better than the strawberries in the side garden.

I planted our blueberry bush in the half barrel beside Jade's little house. Depending on how it grows I plan to trellis it in an arch from the pot to the fence for a tunnel. I'm not sure it that will work, but it's worth a try. I also planted Australian violets in a container under her little window. She waters them every day.
