In the Garden

Sylvia has been hard at work in the garden.  You can see that clearly.  The beans, garlic, tomatoes, zucchini, broccoli, cabbage, jalapenos and rhubarb are looking great.

On the right, the scene changes as you look through the asparagus, which we have stopped harvesting.  Onions, beets, radishes, green peppers, butternut squash and potatoes are flourishing.  Peas are out of frame to the right.

Here another view.  We’ve been talking about laying down some mulch to discourage the weeds.  If some purslane comes up, we will eat that succulent plant.

This afternoon, a pop-up shower watered the garden.  It seems to have passed already.

  1. What a beautiful garden. I’m sure that it took a great deal of hard work to make it that way. And it’s so great that you two will have all those healthy foods.
    Enjoy !!!!

  2. It’s beautiful!! Sylvia is a skilled farmer. Thank goodness for those pop-up showers so you don’t have to water today.

    • I thought I had replied to this, but I don’t see that reply now. This evening we had fresh broccoli from that garden. Asparagus harvest is over for this year. Rhubarb started early and will continue into the fall. Tomatoes will require a bit more patience. They’ll be worth the wait . . . I’m already thinking BLT. :up:
