The garden

 Hi Everyone!

In spite of the wind, and my on going protection, the garden is starting to pop.

Being so cool to cold this summer plants are taking longer to grow and produce. I know, sweet potatoes are a warm climate plant but they are growing. Also the peas are better in cold climate. These are the second batch.

I'm so happy that my neighbor gave me around 40 dried bamboo that grows in her yard. These make the best trellises. When the sun is actually out I do use a shade cloth for evening sun. Beans and cucumbers.

The brussel sprouts are almost ready to harvest. They are very heavy feeders and I think I should have fed them more.

 

This is the back side of the squash patch.

I have harvested a lot of Italian zucchini and some Dark Star zucchini. Much more to come. 

This is another patch of cucumbers. I'm so happy with these. Seriously the best year for cucs.

The big garden that Mr. M. built for my when I first started to garden always does the best out of all of the garden sites I have. In the corner is lavender, 1st row second batch of beets, 2nd row carrots, 3rd row onions, then the cucs. I'm very happy with all of these.

The other side of the big garden.

I still have some broccoli, and finally the eggplants came up, dill, lavender, onions, beets and I can't think what else is there.  

Lots' of happy herbs. This is oregano with marigolds.

This is lemon and the tall plant is a flower that I can't remember the name of. LOL 

This is Salvia and beets. A great combination for growing.

 

The mint needs to be moved into some shade. I have many bundles of mint hanging/drying in my house.  

More Sage, this is common sage nothing like it to keep pests away and to make into bundles. Salvia is not as strong.

I did harvest some spinach this week, some zucchini, and one of the brussels 

 That little one is attached to the larger zuc.

Terrible photo. The sun was bright yesterday. 

Well that's it for garden this time. 

Have a great Monday
