My Big Fat Green Garden

Tonight I took some pictures of the growth in the garden.  We've had regular rain and good temperatures, so these are happy plants.





Foreground to background, this seedbed has lettuce, kohl rabi, carrots, brussel sprouts, and pole beans.












This one is blondie type peas and two types of sunflowers.











This bed has 3 varieties of squash including yellow straightneck and zucchini, califlower, chinese cabbage, and broccoli.









This one had green slicing cucumbers, lemon cucumbers, burgundy snap beans, and cauliflower.







This is the seedbed that was planted last.  It has borage, curled cress, summer savory, dutch caraway, radishes, watermelons, and banana melons.







Ok, we've got German chamomile, celeriac (which initially did not germinate but now has), more Chinese cabbage, and more snap bush beans.








The lower end of the garden.  Arugula, carrots, onions, summer lettuce mix, sugar snap peas, turnips, beets, mustard greens, spinach, green leaf lettuce, more carrots, hot peppers, and in the back, tomatoes.


The two seedbeds next to the tomatoes.  All this stuff is ready to pick, cook, and eat.






Two beds of tomato plants.















This is a Ildi tomato plant putting out a ton of flowers.  It will produce yellow grape tomatoes.




Today's big garden victory...4 free bales of hay.  It makes incredible mulch and is also a great addition to the compost pile.  If I can, I plan to score 4 more bales tomorrow.
