Herb garden- the bees love the Oregano. You can also see some pepper plants on both sides of the herb garden. |
My tomatoes are loaded with green tomatoes. This plant is an heirloom speckled roma plant that I have been saving seeds for three years and regrowing each year. |
My permaculture inspired garden. The spacing is a bit tight but the garden is producing. |
Elderberry plants. There is also a nice chunk of clover to the left of the plants. This is a nice area to sit in the afternoon because the bushes block the sun coming from the west. |
Mullein plant. This is a plant that grows wild and is very good for the soil I have learned from permaculture sites. I am letting this one grow to see what it does. |
Beets. The leaves aren't looking too hot but the beets are a good size. I am planting more for a fall crop this weekend. |
Another pic of the permaculture inspired garden. |
Blackberry bush year 2. The red spots are the berries. This bush is loaded. I have already harvested probably 20-30 berries from this bush. |
Blurry pic of a spider protecting my tomato plant. |
My version of the three sisters. The big leaves are part of a sunflower plant. Climbing beans are going up the sunflower stalk. A cucumber plant is surrounding the plants. |
A nice dark red ladybug on a dill plant. I have hundreds of ladybugs in my garden. Prior to last year, I hadn't saw a true red ladybug in years. |
Another nice colored ladybug. You can see a bit of an orange one above this one. |
Raspberry bushes. |
Green beans mixed in with dill. These green bean plants are a really nice dark green color. This area was loaded up with pumpkins from halloween last year buried in lawn clippings. |
I am starting to get some red tomatoes. It won't be long now. |
My garden is almost in full swing. This does not mean that I am done for the year though. I have replanted lettuce, kale, turnips, broccoli raab, beets for a fall harvest. I am also saving certain areas to place my garden cuttings/weeds to compost down for nutrients next year. All of these areas once full with cutting are covered with lawn clippings.
