Dad's Garden, Part 2

It doesn't appear that much has changed in the week since I posted about Dad's garden.

But even though it doesn't look like much right now, 

there is much going on behind the scenes.

He tilled a few rows were he has gotten cabbages seedlings heeled in 

and carrot and garlic started. 

The turnip, kale, tender, and mustard greens are on their last legs.  

They will be tilled under very soon.

Here's the tomato crop so far. 

Dad harvests his own seed from the year before and gets his plants started in flats.

Here are his onion slips that he has started,  

red onions on the left, white ontions on the right. 

Broccoli seedlings.

The hardware cloth covers on the flats keep the bunnies 

from having seedling salad for dinner.

Dad says that it is going to be a bumper crop for the blueberries this year. 

Yea!  Blueberries are the best. 

Except maybe for the cherries. 

Dad says that unless we get a late freeze there should be a terrific cherry crop too.

Here is the man, the legend, my dad.

He is the epitome of what happens to a retired rock scientist with a hobby. 

The man could make rocks sprout.
More about the garden and the gardener soon.
