ORGANIC GARDEN HAS BEGUN #GARDENCORNER

@sustainablelivin For the last 40 years my hubby and I have been planning to retire to our farm in Upstate NY. Our goal has been to grow enough food to sustain us for at least a year. We have built awesome gardens that produce the best veggies and berries. We always dreamt of being self-sufficient, able to grow enough to sustain us.

We spent summers at our farm, since my hubby was a teacher, we were free to take our 4 children away from New Jersey for the whole summer. So we developed our craft, we learned to grow. With my husband's foresight and my determination we have finally landed. Three years into retirement, we have almost, ALMOST, reached our goal. Our freezer is getting low of our home grown veggies. So, we are going to step up production this year.

Here are some pictures of what we had last growing season.

the blueberries are wild and we collect them in mid July

We grow lots of veggies. Carrots, beets, string beans, peas, garlic, onions, potatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, scallions, basil, thyme , tomatoes, rosemary, dill, lemon balm, mint,
blackberries, raspberries PHEW that's a lot. Sure hope I didn't forget get any.

Did I mention HOPS !!!

Yup, we make our own beer and in late February, we tap our sugar maple trees and produce our maple syrup

So pure and sweet, my family loves it

We have some more to go , BUT we are getting there. Clean food and hope for our future.

Can't Beat the BEETS. HAPPY GARDENING LOL!!!
