MacKenney Farms: The transitional period

It's July and most of MacKenney farms has been successfully harvested. We have been chowing down on tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, corn, and cabbage to our heart's content. Olive got to most of the strawberries before even the birds could. The lettuce turned to seed faster than we could eat it and we are still waiting for the melons to yield fruit (they are finally flowering and growing).

We have a mostly empty garden (tomatoes, onions, peppers, and weeds remain) and a mini greenhouse growing seedlings in the kitchen window. This time we are going for: carrots, onions, chives, parsley, cilantro, basil, dill, more lettuce, and spinach.
 

We also have a brand new compost heap! yay! bring your coffee grounds over to our place and watch the magic happen!
