Here's the last of my three catch up posts. Note the weeds coming up through the straw. I think I must need more straw.
Sweet potatoes
I had no idea that the sweet potato was a vine...
Yellow Beets
I'll be starting to pull these up in a few weeks. I've already had some of the greens.
Potato in its cage.
Serrano Peppers
Orange Mandarin This huge pepper was bowing the plant. I had to cage it, something I should have done before it got so big because now the cage is kind of cramping some of the plant the way I had to position it to support the pepper....
Anaheim Pepper
Spanish Onions
More Cucumbers I Grew From Seed!
Bush Beans Getting Big!
Red Beets!
Melon Patch
Believe it or not I have thinned these a number of times...
Herbs in front, Carrot in back, Yellow Squash to the sides
Some of Shannon's fondest childhood memories include preparing tomatoes for "the deep freeze", shelling peas and snapping beans from her grandparents' large garden, and picking blackberries to be made into cobbler that very afternoon. Last summer the satisfaction of harvesting delicious cantaloupe every other day from her own back yard hooked her on maintaining a food garden of her own. This year she hopes to step up production and force herself to learn more about freezing, canning and dehydrating!
