2017 was an interesting year for the BHaven Vegtable Garden.

Lettuces - in general, the lettuces did real well. Planted as seedlings.

Kale - grew well, but when the weather turned warm, the catepillers wiped them out. Planted as seedlings.

Onions - did very well. Planted as seedlings.

Leeks - did very well. Planted as seedlings.

Celery - did very well. Planted as seedlings.

Carrots - did very well. Started as seeds and then transplanted.

Beets - grew like crazy. Started as seeds and then transplanted

Broccoli - grew very well, but the catepillars wiped out the fruit.

Cauliflower - grew very well, but the catepillars wiped out the fruit.

Bergamot - did ok but died back in the winter. This is supposed to be a perennial - so it should come back.

Garlic - did poorly. Pretty much did not come up at all.

Asparagus - planted three asparagus beds. They seem to be doing well. I will let them get established for a year or two before harvesting.

I continuosly add raw, used goat bedding - pine shavings. Apparently it is not too hot. It does a great job of holding in the water and it breaks down into a rich composte. There is now at least a foot of composte in the vegatable garden.
