Veggie Garden Update

60 this morning, bright and clear. We got very little of the promised rain this weekend, so watering has begun in earnest. It is supposed to warm to 90 by the end of the week. Ugh.

Here are a few pictures from my vegetable garden. I still need to get photos of Larry's early garden, and of the tomato garden, just planted this weekend with help from granddaughter Haley and her friend Desiree. 

Celery in front, then beets, then Swiss chard.


Cabbage, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts here.


The beets again, with Lutz in front and Detroit dark red on the other end of the row.


A longer view. On the far end are carrots--atill tiny--green beans just coming up, a row of peppers planted last week, a row of onions, and potatoes at the far end.


Strawberries in the tubs, with cucumbers and squashes on the ends. Oh, and a row of zinnias in there too, just coming up.


My annual sacrifice to the garden gods! Spinach never ever does well for me, but I try every year. There has to be a secret; do you know it?


The wee little herb garden is beginning to grab hold.


And aong view of the garden, after watering this morning.

  1. How wonderful it all looks, except sad spinach. What are those fence posts part of, perhaps electric wires? If so, they look better than screens of wire fencing.

    1. Those are the electric fence, Barb. It works fairly well, but keeping Buddy out at night is a great deer deterrent too.

    1. Yes, but you may not have to deal with the kind of heat we will have in July! It is fascinating to follow gardens from all over, just to see the progression of the seasons.

  3. Did I just post? Anyway, my comment was that it looks more like a farm than a garden to me. It's impressive. 👍

    1. Well, we used to farm, AC. We grew about 1/4 acres of strawberries, the same if tomatoes, a few cattle and pugs, turkeys, chickens, hay, and tobacco and sorghum along with large gardens to feed our 5 boys. Now it's a much smaller scale. Just chickens, flowers, and veggies.
