How Does Your Garden Grow?


Well, you can see for yourself and the season's not quite half over...fresh organic veggies anyone? We have tomatos, hot peppers, banana pepper, snap peas, green beans, onions, chinese kale, leaf lettuce, romaine lettuce, spinach, carrots, radishes, zucchini, cucumbers, watermelon, raspberries, strawberries, sunflowers, rosemary, parsley, dill, basil, cilantro, oregano and thyme. On the bottom right of the picture is our native prairie garden - still in it's baby stage, but already giving beautiful flowers.

The fence keeps the dog out and the photo doesn't do the size of it justice - the raised beds are 16'x4' each and there's another 6-8 feet on the far end for the overflow and berry patch. Not bad for city dwellers, huh?

Impressive! You can live off the land, literally. I'm in awe of your ability to grow edible and beautiful things (I've got quite the black thumb...).

Yes I'd love an organic tomato, please. The garden looks great. I'm a little envious!
