and six kinds of garlic (behind which blueberries and evergreen huckleberry).
A young herb gardener patrols.
The greenhouse.
The worm bin, with its little red tap to drain the juice, great for watering house plants.
On to Brenda's
where she's been using lots of different techniques to expand her growing space.
A cold frame for seedlings.
Gorgeous raised beds in stone walls.
Not so gorgeous wireworm infesting the newly created raised beds at the back of the garden. Potato traps and time seem to be the only options at the moment.
Howdja like them onions?
Irrigation system to make better use of water.
Fava bean flowers.
Foil the wireworms by using a box planter for potatoes.
Strawberry beds a-plenty.
The container planter in me was happy to see asparagus growing happily and abundantly in pots.
The native plant garden looking happy and well populated.
We were chided long and loudly by a local hummingbird (name of Hector, I reckon).
Salad green bed; we've seen deer in our area but they're not yet a problem for us. Brenda's ready for them when they become so.
Another container planting.
Then on to John's where the brassicas were brightening things up. John leaves his purple sprouting broccoli in as long as it produces, treating it as a perennial, which lasts 2 or 3 years.
Some of his onions, grown from the roots of grocery store green onions.
