The garden has been producing fantastically this year, and thanks to my better fence, the squirrels and rabbits have been stymied from eating all the ripe goodies to their hearts content! Of course I share some of the garden bounty w/ the furry yard critters, but I get first pick, not them this year :-)

Photos from August 5th:

Asparagus; other veggies

Zinnias; herbs; yard

Everything is in the ground and doing well! This year I planted 4 types of tomatoes (pineapple, black krim, cherokee purple and yellow plum), broccoli, yellow and red bell peppers, Swiss chard, jalapenos, a variety of onions and two types of zinnias for color (state fair mix and dreamland mix).  I sprouted butternut squash from seeds and they’re now large enough to put in the ground. A new rosemary plant and purple and green basil were added to the herb garden.  I also built a better fence and put marigolds around the edges to deter the rabbits and squirrels… we’ll see how well these methods work! The photos above were taken a couple of weeks ago and everything has grown substantially since then because the weather has been much better than last year. The photos below were taken on May 31st.

Happy Gardening!!
