Our Garden

Here are some pictures of our garden in June of 2011.  

Concord grapes and the trellis that Mike built

 

Peas, Josh's favoite snack! 

 Along the back of the garage, we have peas and green beans growing on the trellis

 raised garden with lettuce, spinach, strawberries, tomatoes, garlic, beets....  This raised garden also hides our huge rain barrel. 

Blueberries! 

 Red raspberries
 
Summer Squash

 Corn in front, various plants behind...

 tomatoes in the front and tomatoes in the back with the stakes

 strawberries in the back, huge cauliflower in the front

 black raspberries

There are actually quite a few plants that I didn't put up pictures of.  Garlic, eggplant, peppers, carrots, brussels sprouts, parsnips, onions, herbs.....   Just to show you how proud I am of Mike for everything he grows, below are 2 pics of our backyard!!  Somehow, he manages to grow all of that food in such a small space <3

Black raspberries are ready!!

 Showing off what he helped pick from the garden

Here are some new pictures from August 2011

 Grapes are starting to get big and we even saw a few starting to turn purple

 Peas are gone and so are the first crop of beans.  Starting to get more beans on the far plant, and have planted more peas for the fall.


 Red raspberries along the back are starting their second crop.  Squash is trailing all over the sidewalk...

 Some squash, a tall sunflower, corn, and watermelon trailing all over the sidewalk next to the pool. 


 
 Tomatoes, brussels sprouts, basil, parsnips, celery, cherry tomatoes, and herbs hiding behind all of it




 Starting some lettuce and more beans for a fall crop

Starting more carrots, spinach and beets for a fall crop in the raised bed.
