Alaska to New Mexico

Life in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. We left Homer, Alaska on June 3rd, 2009, traveling in our van loaded down with everything we need to set up housekeeping in New Mexico. We now own a small house here and are loving life in the sun. If you scroll back far enough, you'll find a complete record of our road trip.

February 7


A few pictures of our early February garden.  Still dipping below freezing just before sunrise several times a week, but warming up nicely during the day. Planted more peas (sugar  pod), mixed cooking greens, mixed salad greens, calendula and California Poppies in the back yard beds.

Peas and lettuce up under glass along the back fence.



These plants came out of our neighbor Bill's greenhouse when he cleaned it out a couple of weeks ago.  Kale, lettuce and chard transplanted well and should be ready to pick soon


I dug a  new bed in the back yard.  Ground is just sand, so dug in Cow manure/straw mixture along with peat and  city compost (black gold)  It's ready for veggies.


Lettuce from Bill, almost ready to eat.



Planting table set up 


Chard


Little baby lettuce that's been sitting in the ground all winter.  Soil  warming up enough so it's started to perk  up.



Some arugula that's survived since last summer and is coming back  (if the deer don't get it)
