La petite ferme

Offering fresh, naturally grown vegetables in St. John's Newfoundland

How it all started 2022

Here is a little picture story of how I started my vegetable market garden last year.

This was my plot at O’Brien’s Farm when I first saw it in May 2022
This is the rock removal process! This pile of rocks has gotten much bigger since then!
This is the composted chicken manure being spread at the end of May. Tools required: shovel, wheelbarrow and rake!
Woman with lots of determination and BCS tractor to do a shallow incorporation of the compost in the ground!
This is the field and greenhouse in mid to late June. Seeds sowed in the field and tomatoes, basil and zucchinis transplanted in the greenhouse.
This is the 20th of July; potatoes, squashes, lettuce, beets, etc. growing happily.
Lots of nice veggies!
