My Garden

What was that? You want to hear more about my garden? This is excellent because I'm really enjoying the garden this year and have taken many a picture in the last couple of days. I'm sharing the garden space with my down-stairs neighbors and this is their first attempt at a garden. They make me feel like a pro. I have more experience than someone. That and so many more things lived this year. It doesn't look empty. In fact, I planted too many things close together and had some crowding issues. Live and learn. I'm kind of using the square foot gardening method. And kind of just winging it and planting thing where I want to.


This is the majority of the garden. The potatoes in the front are huge!


This is my one year old nephew in front the potato plants. They are as tall as he is. I haven't mounded up the dirt around the roots and so the potatoes are starting to show through.

These are my biggest tomatoes to date. They are called 4th of July tomatoes because they are supposed to be ripe by the 4th of July. They have a few more days to turn red but I doubt they'll make the deadline.


This is an interesting plant I wanted to try this year. It's called kohlrabi and Dick Raymond says it looks like a sputnik.


I didn't realize how large the leaves would get. They shaded everything around them. I'm holding on to Kelvin after I let him run around the yard alone for a while. This is what happened.


He pulled up some weeds. . . and ate them.
There are more plants in a different parts of the garden. A winter squash, pumpkin, zucchini, sunflowers, strawberry and something called Japanese Pumpkin. I have more pictures but this post is already large and who wants to look at more pictures of someone else's garden?
