six months in the garden

September 2016:


March 2017:


Okay, so granted quite a lot of that is summer growth and the verdancy granted by three weeks of near-constant rain in 25-35 degree temps, (also, a new phone) but still!

I guess the big question will be what it looks like in September 2017... Hopefully it's looking even more crazily growth-fuelled...

It looks great! Have you been harvesting anything yet? My favorite part of gardens is the eating part. LOL

Lots of bits and pieces.

Mostly basil and eggplants right now. There were tomatoes earlier, and will hopefully be some more shortly. There's the occasional melon, a bunch of persimmons from a tree out the front, and the corn is just ripening - hopefully the rain didn't wash away all the pollen during the time when the silks needed to be pollinated.

I really need to remember that I have some chinese vegies in the garden and can cook them up, although the bugs seem to like them, too. Oh, and beans. There are beans!

Nice! I can't seem to get Basil to thrive here, and I wish it were perennial so I can be lazy like with my mint and oregano!
Slugs/caterpillars ate up my bok choy when I planted it, too! Tasty for way more than just us! LOL

Basil has never thrived in my garden until last year and this year. It's the weirdest thing: I planted a pot of it, and it went crazy and I seed-saved from it. I tossed the seeds into a section of garden, then got frustrated when nothing was growing, and bought another pot and this time planted the stalks out all over the garden...almost all of which have taken. Then I started getting basil sprouting from the seeds I'd tossed in the soil, and now it's self-seeding quite happily...

I didn't realise it had grown so much over the summer!
