It's a mess and not everything is as productive as I'd like, but it's a beautiful green mess and it's so much fun!
View of the garden facing east:
So, going clockwise:
Bee/good bug flowers on the foreground left, the asparagus box with the two-year shoots in it, a green mulch (mungbean/millet), potato bed beyond. Next to it is the compost I'm using to de-grass the 'pathway' spaces and behind the compost is the crepe myrtle bush with a 'spaghetti squash' growing all over it. You can just see the first squash near the handle of the hills hoist (clothesline). There are ongtsoi (kangkong/waterspinach) growing next to another tomato (not doing so well), growing next to the corn, which is next to the bed-you-can't-see because it's covered by Bed #1, which is mostly tomatoes. Cherry (in the back), and grape. The grape tomato has been dubbed "50 Shades" because it pretty much sprang up out of nowhere and took over the garden, is damned productive, and needs some serious tying up.
No, I haven't read the book. No, I don't plan to see the movie. Even for mockage.
View of the garden facing south:
Going clockwise here:
Cherry tomatoes (backend of Bed #1), there's a butternut pumpkin in there somewhere, possibly even a gherkin cucumber. Lemongrass, the compost and the potatoes behind it. Strawberries next to the spaghetti squash which is visible on the brick and growing over the crepe myrtle. Corn is more visible here, with a sunflower growing in the foreground, still more tomatoes (I start ot think I'll never have to buy a tomato again!) and what you can't see growing over the fence is a curcubit which I can't identify. I thought it was a pumpkin, but now I'm wondering if it might be a cucumber instead? It's not flowering/fruiting at all, so I don't know what it is!
There's also sweet potato down on the ground just out of view in the bottom right.
So it's all going and growing!
Only now I have to plan out the autumn-winter gardens...
