How Does Your Garden Grow? August 22, 2012

Hi...Are you still there? I feel like I am sliding in here rather sheepishly. If it means anything, I miss ya.

The camera is back out and I took some photos for fun with my iPhone macro to share with you.

Things are growing. The zucchini and green beans are plentiful. We have sunflowers. WE have SUNFLOWERS! WE have CORN!! This might appear to be amateur garden excitement, and it is. We have a tall garden this year and the way to the chard which I let go to seed and is turning into a small Sequoia.

Our potatoes went pffffffffft. You can't win them all!

Please share how your garden is growing...here is a glimpse at ours.

Kale - empress of color and texture

If I were a bee, I would jump right into this nasturtium. How could you resist?

Good morning from the Garden

Heirloom lettuce. Ready to go.

Note: Do a VERY thorough removal of slugs from your lettuce before you eat it.

More peas getting ready for us. Finally.

Basil is one of my BIG crops this summer. I am hoping to make a lot of pesto.

This is the first time I have planted spring onions. They did VERY well and they are ready to pick. Now I just have to get my drying rack unpacked and built.
