The Gardens... The beginning. Photos.
I love taking pictures.
The berry garden. Strawberries, blueberries in the blue pots, and in the back, hard to see, a blackberry.
Several gardens here. IN the front of the first fence, there's beans. Eating beans and lima/green/purple-green beans. Behind the fence is corn. Behind the berm is root crops: Parsnips, turnips. Behind that, cabbage.
This is the front part of the garden above. More corn, and behind the wind-shield, is sea-pumpkin, 25 plants. This is all on either soaker, or drip system. The entrance is from the pasture.
These are the lasagna garden experiments. I have already killed lots of things in here. Lesson: Put them together in the fall, not the spring. Currently, I am possibly killing sweet potatoes in here. The baskets have all my tomato starts that haven't already been put in the hanging bucket garden. The rest will go into a newly broken garden in the dog yard.
This is the experiment in upside-down tomato plant bucket gardening. Planning on doing melons and maybe eating beans, underneath.
And if the neighbors aren't talking about the buckets, this is probably the topic of conversation. To the right, the potato and tube gardens. The ABS tubes have holes drilled into them and they are planted in greenbeans and greens and chard and soybean. Underneath are the potatoe, eight varieties, mostly planted in straw. As the potatoes grow, we'll add more wood and more straw. To the left is the guy's gourd garden, with the soaker hose. The bucket is over the electric, and the future duck pen is on the other side of that fence.
Pepper gardens out back. The big peppers I got from a local nursery. The smaller ones, I raised. In the front, is a type of bean called green favorelle.
This is my long garden, along the driveway. It's about 50 feet long and ranges fromn 8 to 12 feet wide. It's divided into three sections. The front is greens and radishes and carrots and such. The middle is almost all garlic and petunias. The last is onions, some tomatos, beets and radishes.
And this... Is what makes the gardens possible. Every woman needs her own backhoe.
