Everything I wanted to get planted in my garden before I left town is now planted:
Potatoes Red onions Radishes 2 varieties of Romaine lettuce Spinach 35 tomato plants Cauliflower Broccoli Brussels Sprouts Romanesco Broccoli Peas Pole Beans Fava Beans Soybeans Okra 2 varieties of Corn Zucchini Cucumbers Yellow Squash Green Onions Pumpkins Strawberries Cilantro Dill Chives Savory French Sorrel Chervil Basil Parsley
Garden is 10x40, and there's containers for the herbs and the strawberries. Potatoes are in straw-filled cages.
I'm tired.

2. Not as ambitious, just a little plot |
|
20-23 tomato plants (volunteers from the compost keep sprouting) peas broccoli carrots Brussels sprouts dill basil green onions red onions garlic cucumbers peppers
Last year I basically had just tomatoes but we got flooding so they went belly up about halfway through. Thought I'd expand the crop this year! I'd love to have the space for all you've got growing! Enjoy the trip. KS

6. As it turns out, there's a cold snap coming |
|
I don't think it's going to frost, but I hope I am not too early. Glad I held all my peppers back.

productive day. And nice selection of veggies/herbs!
This will be my first year w/o a garden. I think I'm going to miss it!
But then, there's always the Farmer's Market.
